So only in economics, like if you look at the performance and if you compare it across disciplines, then you see that actually in a lot of disciplines, there's no like latent discrimination.
33:27
But like if men and women perform equally, then the chance to get tenure is the same.
33:32
Even if women perform the same, they still get discriminated against and we still see a gap there.
33:38
that's really like okay there is seems to be a real problem with just blatant discrimination of women in the discipline and yeah we set out to look at what's what's actually happening there and our hypothesis is that We experience this competitization of academia more generally.

So we see that competitive formats become more important, rankings become more important, but also quantitative evaluation methods and criteria.
