We focus on genders of the corresponding author and the editor overseeing the manuscript. Using data from three top accounting journals from 2015 to 2020, we conduct a regression analysis to test the hypotheses regarding longer ACCDEL for articles under female editorship or authors, those with gender-opposite editor-author pairs, and those with coincident genders editor-author pairs. We fi nd that when the genders of editors and corresponding authors dif f er, there is a signif i cant increase in ACCDEL compared to submissions where the genders of editors and corresponding authors match. Our results suggest the existence of a prevalent gender homophily ef f ect.Keywords Gender editor · Gender author · Acceptance delay · Publication delay · Accounting · Business * Josep Maria Argilés-Bosch josep.argiles@ub.edu Yuliya Kasperskaya yulia.kasperskaya@ub.edu Josep Garcia-Blandon josep.garcia@iqs.url.edu Diego Ravenda d.ravenda@tbs-education.es1 Department of Business, Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain2 Department of Economics and Finance, IQS School of Management, Universitat Ramo ? n Llull, Barcelona, Spain3 Department of Management Control, Accounting and Auditing, TBS Business School, Campus Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain
