  1. Gendered Language in Academic Evaluations: Evidence from the Italian University System By Casamonti, Matilde; Zinovyeva, Natalia
  2. Evolving Dynamics: Bibliometric Insights into the Economics of the EU ETS Market By Cristiano Salvagnin

    Abstract: We analyze the impact of evaluator and candidate gender on the language used in academic evaluations using data on 295, 000 evaluation reports for applicants seeking professorial promotion across all academic fields in Italy. In this context, candidates are assessed by a national-level committee composed of five randomly selected evaluators from the corresponding field. We observe that the language used in evaluation reports varies significantly with applicants' productivity and professional ties to evaluators, but we find no indication that the language of the assessments depends on the gender of either the candidates or the evaluators.
    Keywords: academic evaluations, women in academia, gendered language

  2. By: Cristiano Salvagnin
    Abstract: This study aims to map the scientific production on the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) market from 2004 to 2024. By analyzing research articles collected from the Scopus database, this bibliometric review provides a comprehensive overview of the academic landscape surrounding the EU ETS. Utilizing the Bibliometrix package in R, we conducted an in-depth analysis of publication trends, key research themes, influential authors, and prominent journals in the field. Our findings reveal significant growth in scholarly interest, with notable peaks corresponding to major policy updates and economic events. The analysis highlights the most cited works and collaborative networks, offering insights into the evolution of research topics over the past two decades. This review serves as a valuable resource for researchers and policymakers, providing a detailed understanding of the academic contributions to the EU ETS market and identifying emerging trends and gaps in the literature. Through this bibliometric approach, we offer a nuanced perspective on the development and impact of the EU ETS in the context of global carbon markets and climate policy.
