Keeping business idea and pitch quality constant, we manipulate the entrepreneur\u2019s gender and business sector. On average, gender does not affect recommended investment; however, the business sector matters. The construction and textile sectors attract greater investment than the food services sector. Men are perceived as better negotiators and leaders in sectors that often attract higher investment and where women are underrepresented. Exposure to women in leadership positions and information can increase investment in women-owned businesses.","geographic_units":[{"name":"Ethiopia","code":"ETH"}],"keywords":[{"name":"Gender"},{"name":"Entrepreneurship"},{"name":"Firms"},{"name":"Finance"}],"topics":[{"id":"C93","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php?view=jel","vocabulary":"Journal of Economic Literature (JEL)","name":"Field Experiments","parent_id":"C9"},{"id":" D14","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php?view=jel","vocabulary":"Journal of Economic Literature (JEL)","name":"Household Saving \u2022 Personal Finance","parent_id":"D1"},{"id":" D25","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php?view=jel","vocabulary":"Journal of Economic Literature (JEL)","name":"Intertemporal Firm Choice: Investment, Capacity, and Financing","parent_id":"D2"},{"id":" J16","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php?view=jel","vocabulary":"Journal of Economic Literature (JEL)","name":"Economics of Gender \u2022 Non-labor Discrimination","parent_id":"J1"},{"id":" L25","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php?view=jel","vocabulary":"Journal of Economic Literature (JEL)","name":"Firm Performance: Size, Diversification, and Scope","parent_id":"L2"},{"id":" L26","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php?view=jel","vocabulary":"Journal of Economic Literature (JEL)","name":"Entrepreneurship","parent_id":"L2"},{"id":" O12","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php?view=jel","vocabulary":"Journal of Economic Literature (JEL)","name":"Microeconomic Analyses of Economic Development","parent_id":"O1"}],"output":[{"type":"Working Paper","description":"Policy Research Working Papers (PRWP)","title":"Gender Discrimination In Entrepreneurial Finance: Experimental Evidence From Ethiopia"}],"language":[{"name":"English","code":"EN"}],"disclaimer":"The materials in the reproducibility packages are distributed as they were prepared by the staff of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development\/The World Bank.
