There is no consensus in the literature on the effect of gender on the judicial performance of judges; however, some studies indicate that men produce more than women. Based on this, the present study has two main objectives. The first is to identify whether male judges produce more than female judges do, and the second is to identify whether the judicial production of males and females is related to the same factors. We use official secondary data from 2016 referring to 600 judges from the first instance of the State Court of São Paulo. The results do not show statistical evidence that gender influences the judicial production of judges. However, it is possible to affirm that the judicial production of male and female judges is influenced by different sets of variables. Implications of the results are discussed at the end of the article.

关于性别对法官司法行为的影响，文献没有达成共识。但是，一些研究表明，男人的产量要高于女人。基于此，本研究有两个主要目标。第一个是确定男性法官的生产是否比女性法官多，第二个是确定男性和女性的司法生产是否与相同因素相关。我们使用2016年的官方二级数据，其中涉及圣保罗州法院一审的600名法官。结果没有显示统计证据表明性别会影响法官的司法生产。但是，可以肯定的是，男女法官的司法生产受到不同变量集的影响。本文结尾讨论了结果的含义。
