Diversity In Economics Seminars: Who Gives Invited Talks?
Abstract
In economics, as in many other academic disciplines, it is common for departments to invite external speakers to give research talks in academic seminars. These invited seminars are a primary way that academic economists get feedback on their work, disseminate their work, and expand their professional networks. In this paper, authors Jennifer L. Doleac, Erin Hengel, Elizabeth Pancotti describe the characteristics of invited seminar speakers, using a balanced panel of 66 economics and economics-adjacent departments from August 2014 through December 2019. Our data are the result of a multi-year, ongoing effort to collect this information from the websites of a broad range of departments in the United States and abroad.
