One is what I would call the-I'll explain each of these in a few moments and comment on how important I think they are-the first is what I call the high-powered job hypothesis. The second is what I would call different availability of aptitude at the high end, and the third is what I would call different socialization and patterns of discrimination in a search. And in my own view, their importance probably ranks in exactly the order that I just described."

BTW: This should not be a surprise to Harvard women B-school alums especially. Puhleez, get on your rockets and knock this guy down. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until now.
