Abstract
ABSTRACT Using the random assignment of students to subject teachers in South Korean middle schools, this study investigates the causal impact of teacher – student gender matches on students’ academic rankings within their classes. The findings show that having female teachers improves female students’ rank relative to that of male students. This effect is likely to be driven by changes in teacher behaviours.
