Women on Boards in Finance and STEM Industries
研究发现金融和传统STEM行业董事会中女性比例更低，即使控制企业和国家特征后，这些行业的性别多样性仍比平均水平低24%。这表明STEM领域的性别差距会长期影响女性商业领导力，且通用多样性政策可能难以消除这一差距。
We document that women are less represented on corporate boards in Finance and more traditional STEM industry sectors. Even after controlling for differences in firm and country characteristics, average diversity in these sectors is 24% lower than the mean. Our findings suggest that well-documented gender differences in STEM university enrolments and occupations have long-term consequences for female business leadership. The leadership gap in Finance and STEM may be difficult to eliminate using blanket boardroom diversity policies. Diversity policies are also likely to have a different impact on firms in these sectors than in non-STEM sectors.
