"We chose three journals -- American Economic Review, Quarterly Journal of Economics, and Journal of Development Economics – and classified the gender of the authors for all empirical development papers published between 2007 and 2017".

"For example, women are much more likely to say that Functioning of Markets is under-researched, whereas men are more likely to view Management and Small and Medium Enterprises as in need of more attention."

and

"It’s a bit depressing to us that there is less interest in seeing new articles on the topics that women are more likely to be studying. One could give any number of causal interpretations to this correlation. Maybe male researchers are less risk averse and pursue newer, under-researched areas. Maybe, as The Economist speculated last year, “the greater representation of women in these areas lowers their prestige.”

Idea: plot math intensity of a field against % of female authors -- e.g. economics issues are STEM issues?
