A new study shows a large gender gap on economic policy among the nation s professional economists, a divide similar to the gender divide found in the general public. “As a group, we are pro-market,” says Ann Mari May, co-author of the study and a University of Nebraska economist. “But women are more likely to accept government regulation and involvement in economic activity than our male colleagues. “ “It’s very puzzling,” says free market economist Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. “Not a day goes by that I don定子和转子’俨骖騑于上路t ask mylf why there are so few women economists on the free market side. “ A native of France, de Rugy supported government intervention(干预)early in her life but changed her mind after studying economics. “We want many of the same things as liberals—less poverty, more health care—but have radically different ideas on how to achieve it. “ Liberal economist Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic Policy and Rearch, says male economists have b
een on the inside of the profession, confirming each other’s anti-regulation views. Women, as outsiders, “are more likely to think independently or at least e people outside of the economics profession as forming their peer group,” he says. The gender balance in economics is changing. One-third of economics doctorates(博士学位)now go to women. “More diversity is needed at the table when public policy is discusd,” May says. Economists do agree on some things. Female economists agree with men that Europe has too much regulation and that Wal-mart is good for society. Male economists agree with their female colleagues that military spending is too high. The genders are most divorced from each other on the question of equality for women. Male economists overwhelmingly think the wage gap between men and women is largely the result of individuals’ skills, experience and voluntary choices. Female economists overwhelmingly disagree by a margin of 4-to-l. The biggest disagreement: 76% of women say faculty opportunities in economics favor men. Male economists point the opposite way: 80% say women are favored or the process is neutral.

The number of postgraduate students travelling from non-EU countries to study at UK universities has fallen for the first time in 16 years, fuelling fears that the government’s immigration crackdown is discouraging thousands of the brightest students from continuing their studies in Britain. Jo Beall, British Council director of education and society, said the fall would cau alarm among UK vice-chancellors(大学行政主管). “The ctor was expecting a decline in growth, but the actual reduction in postgraduate numbers is of real concern as international students make up the majority of numbers in many postgraduate cours and rearch teams in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.” “Attracting the brightest and most ambitious postgraduate and rearch students is critical if the UK is to maintain its quality reputation for rearch,” Beall said.

The UK enjoys an excellent reputation around the world for the high quality of our education system, so the government needs to ensure that institutions have all the support they need to attract international students who make a tremendous academic, cultural and economic contribution to the UK.”
