Do female economists and economists at lower-ranked institutions face discrimination during the publication process? To answer this question, we ask journal editors to evaluate the quality of abstracts for various solo-authored papers which differ along the dimensions of gender and institution of the author. We exogenously vary whether editors observe the name and/or institution of the author. We identify positive institutional bias for economists in the top institutions. However, when the name of the author is also revealed, this positive institutional bias only applies to males. Hence, institution serves as a signal for quality of men’s work, but not women’s.
