Anne E. Preston (born June 17, 1955) is an economist and currently a professor at Haverford College, Pennsylvania, where she teaches Economics courses including Econometrics, Macroeconomics, Women in the Labor Market and Sports Economics[1]. She married Casey Ichniowski, an economist at Columbia Business School, in 1984, with whom she has three children. The couple collaborated in conducting a study titled “Does March Madness Lead to Irrational Exuberance in the NBA Draft? High-Value Employee Selection Decisions and Decision-Making Bias” in 2012. Preston’s focus is on the link between labor market results and sexual orientation, career opportunities for scientists and engineers and more broadly on the gender differences[2].
Education and work
Born in Greenwich, Connecticut, Preston graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University in 1977 with a bachelor’s degree in Economics and was granted the Undergraduate Thesis Award. She then went on to pursue her master’s degree at Harvard University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, followed by Ph.D. in Economics with special fields in labor economics and industrial organization in 1983[1].
She served eight years (1992-2000) as the Associate Professor at Harriman School for Public Policy and Management at Stony Brook University where she taught economics, business and public policy courses to undergraduate as well as graduate students. Around the same time, she was also the Director of Evaluation at WISE (Women in Science and Engineering), a program that aimed at increasing the engagement of women in the fields of science and engineering. Her presence at the Russell Sage Foundation as the visiting scholar was a great contribution to the organization that helps in the funding of research related to income inequality[1].
Publications
“Can Empathy Explain Gender Differences in Economic Policy Views in the United States?” (2018)
Preston collaborated with Linda Kamas to study the effects of empathy in men and women and its effects on perceiving the interventionist government economic policies in the United States. It is shown that women are more supportive of activist government, voting for Democrats as well as approving the redistribution of income and wealth[2] . The results of the study confirmed that empathy has a positive correlation to government support for both men and women, however, it was also shown that gender difference does not exist in policy viewing and empathy[2].
“Competing with confidence: The ticket to labor market success for college-educated women” (2018)
Preston partnered up with Linda Kamas and conducted experiments on college seniors to determine whether the gender wage gap is an outcome of difference in preferences for competition and confidence. The participants were tested for their levels of competition and confidence and matched to later experiences of their labor market experiences after college. Results indicated that confident women who also like to compete have similar wages to men.[3]
"Can Social Preferences Explain Gender Differences in Economic Behaviour?" (2015)
Preston co-authored with Linda Kamas. This study determined the effects of social preferences (as measured by dictator allocation decisions) on economic behaviours and the visible gender differences in those behaviours. It was found that women tend to be inequity averters and not social surplus maximizers, a pattern that can be seen in how women give considerably more to charities than men. In addition to being inequity averters, women's low self-confidence also plays a role in their support for egalitarian payment system, making them hopeful that a more equal sharing will help them earn more.[4]
