This study examines the presence of gender bias in performance evaluations, with a particular focus on whether assessments differ based on the gender of the actors. Using the sample of Czech economics-oriented university students, the research investigates whether gender influences students’ assessments of seminar paper presentations. A binary logistic regression model is employed to analyse the relationship between evaluator and student gender and the likelihood of receiving the highest grade. The results indicate that female evaluators are generally stricter than male, significantly reducing the probability of a high assessment. However, there is no evidence that male students receive more favourable evaluations than their female counterparts. Individuals favour those of the same gender.
