Abstract
⺠We ran an experiment where groups select a leader to compete against other groups. ⺠Groups select women much less often than their abilities suggest. ⺠Could be due to differences in overconfidence, truthfulness, and/or agency problems. ⺠Overconfidence in their own abilities explains why men predominate as leaders.
