Playing the Boys Game: Golf Buddies and Board Diversity
研究女性参与高尔夫这项男性主导的社交活动如何影响其进入董事会的可能性。基于新加坡所有高尔夫球手的数据，发现女性高尔夫球手进入董事会的概率比男性高54%，在大型企业或男性主导行业中概率增加117%至125%。
We study the participation of women in golf, a predominately male social activity, and its influence on their likelihood of serving on a board of directors. Exploiting a novel dataset of all golfers in Singapore, we find that woman golfers enjoy a 54% higher likelihood of serving on a board relative to male golfers. A woman's probability of serving on the board in a large firm or in a predominately male industry increases by 117% to 125% when she plays golf. Joining the boy's informal network appears to facilitate women's entrance or success in the executive labor market.
