Gender disparities in competitive environments are well-documented, with women consistently demonstrating lower propensities to enter competitions than men. Our research suggests that women do not necessarily have weaker competitive preferences overall, but rather tend to shy away from competing against men. Through a series of laboratory experiments, we show that when given the option to select their competitor’s gender or when placed in female-only experimental environments, women’s competition entry rates match those typically observed in men.

Salary negotiations are a widespread phenomenon that can shape key labor market outcomes, such as welfare and inequality. We provide novel empirical and theoretical insights into the causes and consequences of salary negotiations. We conducted two field experiments involving over 3,100 job seekers in the U.S. tech sector, designed to examine two types of information frictions. We find that a light-touch encouragement intervention significantly increased both negotiation attempts and compensation gains.
