This study aims to investigate whether the presence of female directors with specific attributes has an effect on earnings quality in a patriarchal emerging country with a collectivistic culture and a substantial gender equality gap and where the majority of companies are controlled by large business groups.,The current study uses a unique hand-collected data set that covers all non-financial companies listed on the Borsa Istanbul between the years 2009 and 2017, using the GMM method to overcome potential omitted variables and reverse causality problems.,The current study demonstrates that the presence of female directors on company boards is not associated with earnings management. Similar results are obtained for the percentage of female directors with specific attributes such as busyness, professional expertise and audit committee membership. Surprisingly, the results suggest that there is a negative (positive) relationship between the percentage of female directors that are affiliated (unaffiliated) with controlling business groups and earnings management.,The current study tests the relationship between the presence of female directors and earnings management in a cultural and institutional setting that is substantially different from countries where the majority of previous research on female directors has been conducted. In addition, this study puts a special emphasis on female director affiliation and provides evidence that contradicts the expectation regarding the direction of the relationship between the percentage of affiliated female directors and earnings management.

女董事和收入管理的关系和特征:来自土耳其的证据

这项研究旨在调查具有特定属性的女性董事的存在是否会对具有集体主义文化和巨大的性别平等鸿沟的重男轻女新兴国家的收入质量产生影响,并且大多数公司由大型企业集团控制。当前的研究使用了一个独特的手工收集的数据集,该数据集涵盖了2009年至2017年之间在伊斯坦布尔证券交易所上市的所有非金融公司,并使用GMM方法克服了潜在的遗漏变量和反向因果关系问题。公司董事会中女性董事的存在与收益管理无关。对于具有特定属性(例如忙碌,专业知识和审计委员会成员)的女性董事所占的百分比,也获得了类似的结果。令人惊讶的是,结果表明与控制业务集团有关联(无关联)的女性董事所占百分比与盈余管理之间存在负(正)关系。本研究检验了女性董事的存在与盈余管理之间的关系在文化和机构环境上与以前进行过大部分关于女导演研究的国家有很大不同。此外,本研究特别强调了女董事的隶属关系,并提供了与有关女董事的百分比与盈余管理之间的关系方向预期相反的证据。结果表明,与控制业务集团有关联(无关联)的女性董事所占百分比与收益管理之间存在负(正)关系。文化和机构设置与之前进行过大部分关于女导演研究的国家有很大不同。此外,本研究特别强调了女董事的隶属关系,并提供了与有关女董事的百分比与盈余管理之间的关系方向预期相反的证据。结果表明,与控制业务集团有关联(无关联)的女性董事所占百分比与收益管理之间存在负(正)关系。文化和机构设置与之前进行过大部分关于女导演研究的国家有很大不同。此外,本研究特别强调了女董事的隶属关系,并提供了与有关女董事的百分比与盈余管理之间的关系方向预期相反的证据。当前的研究测试了在文化和制度环境下女性董事的存在与盈余管理之间的关系,这种关系与之前进行过大部分关于女性董事的研究的国家有很大不同。此外,本研究特别强调了女董事的隶属关系,并提供了与有关女董事的百分比与盈余管理之间的关系方向预期相反的证据。当前的研究测试了在文化和制度环境下女性董事的存在与盈余管理之间的关系,这种关系与之前进行过大部分关于女性董事的研究的国家有很大不同。此外,本研究特别强调了女董事的隶属关系,并提供了与有关女董事的百分比与盈余管理之间的关系方向预期相反的证据。
