Journal of Economic Psychology, 109, 1-8. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joep.2025.102818.0167-487010.1016/j.joep.2025.102818https://academica-e.unavarra.es/handle/2454/54115This paper serves as the opening for the Virtual Special Issue on the economic consequences of gender differences in behavior, published in the Journal of Economic Psychology. The issue aims to consolidate recent research exploring how gender differences in behavior, reflected in risk attitudes, competitiveness, and negotiation tendencies, impact economic outcomes and, in particular, may partially explain labor market differences across genders regarding occupational segregation, wage gaps, and disparities in career advancement. We provide an overview of the topic, highlighting the importance of understanding gender-specific economic behaviors and setting the stage for the detailed studies, and follow by introducing the articles included in the special issue, which use mainly experimental and empirical insights.application/pdfeng© 2025 The Author(s).
