Measuring the Gender Performance Gap in Internal Labor Markets
Farzad Saidi will discuss the gender performance gap in competitive, male-dominated environments. By presenting a theoretical model that predicts the performance gap as a result of female beliefs about performance evaluation in such environments, Saidi will attempt to demonstrate the gender performance gap as a contributing factor of the actual pay gap across the wage distribution.
Farzad is a doctoral candidate in Economics at New York University. During his fellowship at WAPPP, Farzad will research what drives the gender pay gap at higher levels of employment. Fazad has held research positions at the University of Chicago, the Center for Economic Performance in London, and the Institute for the Study of Labor in Bonn, Germany. In addition to his academic work, Farzad also has experience in the private sector with Booz Allen Hamilton in Germany and J.P. Morgan in the United Kingdom. Farzad holds a MSc in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics from the London School of Economics and a degree in Business Administration from the Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany.
This event is open to the public. Lunch will be provided.
