I am not quite sure what Roy's student means by "refereeing process".  
However, there is some research on the results of blind versus 
double-blind refereeing from the point of view of gender bias and about 
the effect of women authors's names, by Marianne Ferber and several 
coauthors. These are listed in the references to Ferber and Julie 
Nelson's essay in _Beyond Economic Man_, which I haven't with me 
now. The articles themselve, as I recall them, cite similar literature.
