Abstract

This paper examines whether teachers' gender biases stem from discrimination, and focuses on two of its potential drivers: gender preferences and beliefs. In an online experiment, 1840 teachers evaluated fictitious transcripts with randomized gender information. Preferences are measured via dictator games, and beliefs through an Implicit Association Test. While teachers show no gender preferences, they do hold gender beliefs. Analyzing 19,000 transcript evaluations, we find no evidence of gender-based discrimination. Our findings suggest that when only exposed to student gender, even teachers with biased beliefs do not discriminate.
