Gender differences in research performance within and between countries: Italy vs Norway

作者:

Highlights:

• We analyse the research performance of 36,000 Italian and Norwegian professors.

• We apply an output to input indicator of research performance, the FSS.

• We find that men outperform women across countries, fields and academic ranks.

• Performance differences can be largely explained by the top 10 % professors.

• Possible biases intrinsic in quantitative performance indicators are discussed.
