We examine board diversity in India following a 2013 law requiring all public companies to have at least one female board member. Our results indicate that having women on the board of directors improves firm performance and reduces firm bankruptcy risk. Using data on directors’ backgrounds and social connections, we find that important factors include female directors’ independence, social network size, committee memberships, and graduate education. Our results hold after addressing endogeneity using instrumental variable (IV) and difference-in-differences (DID) approaches.

女性董事能否提高印度的公司绩效和风险?

在 2013 年的一项法律要求所有上市公司至少有一名女性董事会成员之后,我们检查了印度的董事会多元化。我们的研究结果表明,董事会中有女性成员可以提高公司绩效并降低公司破产风险。使用董事背景和社会关系的数据,我们发现重要因素包括女性董事的独立性、社交网络规模、委员会成员和研究生教育。我们的结果在使用工具变量 (IV) 和差异中的差异 (DID) 方法解决内生性后成立。
