I am very much not an economics chauvinist but sometimes the rest of you make it difficult not to be one. https://t.co/L0tlREQHh1

This is a nonsense comment unless you define what socialism means. And women are not ‘socialist’, although they may be more liberal. Btw over half my grad Econ class was women, in late 1970s-1980s. And women in economics group in my govt are ~50% women.

By the same token, everything in this thread, starting with the survey itself is nonsense! Like seriously, does anyone know what are we even talking about?

Thank you. I wish people would say "don't infer treatment effects without first ruling out selection effects" in these cases rather than the more vacuous "correlation does not imply causation."
-
I'm not saying anything about treatment or selection. I suspect both treatment and selection are in play though.

Thankfully economics is in reality less libertarian than you might imagine (though perhaps less leftist than you'd like). But they sure are noisy!

Hi
@HeerJeet - I know of course about the problems at the graduate level (though I don't know that philosophy is any better), but wasn't sure about the undergrad situation. I pulled the most recent years of IPEDS: philosophy and econ are comparable. What are you thinking exactly? -
I grabbed NCES institution populations, bachelors degrees, current year, 38.01 CIP for philosophy and 45.06 CIP for econ. Econ has 4.78% black and Philosophy 5.47% black. Econ has 31.14% women and philosophy has 31.16% women. So we are a little worse on both counts.

Ummm... Many other disciplines at top 100 are really shitty too (albeit not as really shitty)...
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
