Thanks @markus_gold for this much needed conversation. Having worked a bit on both sides, my takeaway is to not to assume a survey firm knows a lot (i.e outsource completely) or too little (override everything), the key is to find the right level of collaboration each time.

Do male & female economists differ fundamentally in their views on economic policy issues? Yes.
Does this finding accentuate the need for more equal gender representation in economic policymaking? Yes!

In maths, boys are better than girls in less gender-equal cultures.
In more gender-equal cultures, the reading gender gap becomes even larger.
And the math gender gap disappears.
