　　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 Nebraskaeconomist．"But women are more likely to accept government regflation and involvement in economicactivity than our male colleagues．"
　　"It's very puzzling," says free-market economist Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center at GeorgeMason University． "Not a day goes by that I don't ask myself why there are so few women economistson the free market side．"
　　A native of France, de Rugy supported government intervention (干预) early in her life but changedher mind after studying economics． "We want many of the same things as liberals--less poverty, morehealth care--but have radically different ideas on how to achieve it．"
　　Liberal economist Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic Policy and Research, saysmale economists have been 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 see people outside of theeconomics 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 goto women． "More diversity is needed at the table when public policy is discussed," May says．Economists do agree on some things． Female economists agree with men that Europe has too muchregulation and that Wal-mart is good for society． Male economists agree with their female colleagues thatmilitary spending is too high．The genders are most divorced from each other on the question of equality for women． Maleeconomists overwhelmingly think the wage gap between men and women is largely the result ofindividuals' sldlls, experience and voluntary choices． Female economists overwhelmingly disagree by amargin of 4-to-1．
　　The biggest disagreement: 76% of women say faculty opportunities in economies favor men Maleeconomists point the opposite way: 80% say women are favored or the process is neutral．
