| Submission declined on 29 August 2025 by WeirdNAnnoyed (talk). This article is about a notable subject but is excessively cited, and many of the citations are to the subject's work (i.e. non-independent). It is acceptable to have only one source for a non-controversial statement. For example, the "reproductive capital" citation should only cite current Ref. 3, since this is independent of the subject, and the 5-reference citation stack after "negotiation" should be narrowed down to one or two, ideally secondary sources mentioning Low. It's fine to cite the subject once or twice but try to keep it to a minimum. This is admittedly a nitpicky reason for a decline, but with some sourcing cleanup the article should be all set to go, as the subject is definitely notable. Declined by WeirdNAnnoyed 2 months ago. | |

Corinne Low is an American economist and author. She is an associate professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Her academic research focuses on labor economics, gender economics, and development economics.[1][2] Her first book was published in September 2025.[3]
Biography
[edit]Low received her BS in economics and public policy from Duke University. She worked as a consultant at McKinsey & Company before pursuing graduate studies. She earned her MA and PhD in economics from Columbia University in 2014 under Pierre-André Chiappori, Cristian Pop-Eleches, and Bernard Salanié. After completing her PhD, she joined the Wharton School, where she is currently associate professor of Business Economics and Public Policy.[4] She is also a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and serves as an associate editor of the American Economic Journal: Economic Policy and the Journal of Labor Economics.[5]
Research
[edit]Low’s research addresses the economics of gender, family, and labor markets. Her early work introduced the concept of “reproductive capital,” describing the economic value of female fertility.[6] She has examined how assisted reproductive technologies influence women’s career outcomes and human capital investment,[7] how gender shapes negotiation dynamics,[8] and the long-run effects of motherhood on earnings.[9] She has also studied bargaining power among women in developing countries, including experimental programs in Zambia.[10]
She co-developed the Incentivized Résumé Rating method, an experimental tool for measuring hiring discrimination.[11] Her work on hiring and evaluation practices has also been featured in media coverage of the 2021 Jeopardy! host controversy, where she argued for objective, bias-reducing hiring methods.[12]
Low’s academic articles have appeared in leading economics journals including the Quarterly Journal of Economics, American Economic Review, and Journal of Political Economy.[13] According to Google Scholar, her research has been cited more than 1,000 times as of 2025.[14] Her work has been presented at major conferences including the Allied Social Science Associations (ASSA) meetings and the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), and has been discussed in policy outlets such as Brookings and Wharton Business Daily.[15][16]
Teaching and recognition
[edit]At Wharton, Low teaches MBA and undergraduate students. She was named one of the "Best 40-Under-40 MBA Professors" by Poets & Quants in 2024.[17]
Her first book, Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women's Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours, was published by Flatiron (Macmillan) in September 2025.[18] The UK edition will be released under the title Femonomics.[19] She also writes the Femonomics Newsletter and is a Lavin keynote speaker.[20]
Advocacy work
[edit]Low is the co-founder and executive director of the Open Hearts Initiative, a non-profit focused on pro-housing organizing to address homelessness in New York City.[21] During the COVID-19 pandemic, she advocated for unhoused individuals relocated to Upper West Side hotels.[22]
Personal life
[edit]Low has written about how her experiences in a heterosexual marriage and uneven household labor influenced her academic interests.[23] She lives in Philadelphia with her wife and two children.[24]
