Interesting, but I'm skeptical. Can someone give the citation of the actual study? The linked news story doesn't give the name/authors of the research.

EDIT: According to this source, it is forthcoming in the journal Contemporary Economic Policy and authored by May, McGarvey, and Whaples.

EDIT: According to Tyler Cowen, the name of the paper is "Are Disagreements Among Male and Female Economists Marginal at Best? A Survey of AEA Members and Their Views on Economics and Economic Policy” but he cannot find a pre-print copy online. The paper hasn't been published in the latest edition of Contemporary Economic Policy.

EDIT: A copy of the paper. Enjoy!
