In a free pricing setting. Male (nonGP) specialists set higher fees than their female colleagues. Our new study explores gender differences in pricing and the role of price transparency.

Centre for Health Economics, Monash Business School @che-monash.bsky.social · Mar 11

A new study of medical specialists found that gender norms influence pay for equal skills/education & that these implicit biases are shared by men & women. These biases & the lack of transparent fee-setting practices contributed to women specialists setting lower fees. 🔗go.monash.edu/rcijvs #IWD2025
