Description:This paper uses a two stage Tobit regression analysis and the Oaxaca-Ransom decomposition to examine the existence of a gender differential in the score assigned to academic publications and professional work submitted for evaluation before the Academic Regime Commission at Universidad de Costa Rica. Results show that a significant gender differential does exists and amounts to 5,54%. Most of this differential is associated with the discrimination coefficient against women. The results also exhibit the existence of a strong penalty to co-authorships and important differences in the score received depending on faculty affiliation. Finally, it is worth asking if there is a strong random component in the evaluation. Therefore, a revision of the current evaluation process to assess academic and professional work used by the institution is suggested.
