This paper examines whether Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which banned sex discrimination in admissions, was successful in reducing gender disparity in graduate education. Using school‐level survey data and a national survey of college degree‐holders, I find that female enrollment at graduate schools increased by an average of 18.7 percent following Title IX's passage. This phenomenon was mainly driven by schools that had greater incentive to comply with the new law. I also find evidence that Title IX reduced gender disparities across degree fields; the female‐male gap in traditionally male fields closed by 3.2 to 8.5 percentage points after Title IX. These results are robust to alternative explanations, such as the end of the Vietnam War draft, law changes related to fertility, and other events that occurred between the late 1960s and early 1970s that may also have affected female educational decisions.

标题IX对研究生教育中性别差距的影响

本文研究了1972年《教育修正案》第IX条（禁止招生中的性别歧视）是否成功地减少了研究生教育中的性别差异。使用学校水平的调查数据和全国大学学位持有者的调查，我发现，在标题IX通过后，研究生院的女性入学率平均增加了18.7％。造成这种现象的主要原因是，学校有更大的动机去遵守新法律。我还发现有证据表明，第IX题减少了各个学位领域的性别差距。在第IX题之后，传统上男性领域的男女差距缩小了3.2％至8.5个百分点。这些结果对于其他解释（例如越南战争草案的结束，与生育有关的法律变更，
