This paper investigates gender issues in Ph.D. entrepreneurship. The empirical analysis is based on data from a questionnaire survey run in 2014-15 in Italy. We analyse how Ph.D. students perceive the institutional entrepreneurial environment, the drivers and the factors hindering entrepreneurship and gender-equality among faculties at the parent institution. We find evidence of a gender bias in Ph.D. entrepreneurship and that the perception about the factors either hampering or supporting entrepreneurship is deeply different between sexes. The academic environment can have a fundamental impact on students' decisions to start new ventures and on the probability that they will abandon their entrepreneurial intentions. Female student entrepreneurs particularly benefit from the opportunity to engage with a gender-balanced work environment.
本文研究了博士创业中的性别问题。实证分析基于 2014-2015 年在意大利进行的问卷调查数据。我们分析了博士生如何看待机构创业环境、创业的驱动力和阻碍因素，以及母机构教职员工中的性别平等。我们发现博士创业中存在性别偏见，而且男女对阻碍或支持创业的因素的看法存在很大差异。学术环境对学生创业的决策以及他们放弃创业意愿的可能性有重大影响。女学生创业者特别受益于能够接触到性别平衡的工作环境的机会。
