The main objective of this study is to analyse the moderating effect of corporate board gender diversity on firm value for 1490 European listed companies between 2016 and 2018. The aim is to investigate whether companies that have different subcommittees (Audit, Corporate Governance, Nomination and Compensation), or that have financial expertise on the audit committee, see increases or decreases in firm value due to the moderating effect of gender diversity. The most striking evidence reveals that the effect of gender diversity on corporate boards, considering all countries in the European sample, could positively impact firm value by moderating the corporate governance and compensation committees. In contrast, when grouped by governance structure, only in the case of one-tier boards is the moderating effect on the governance committee determinant. Likewise, this moderating effect on the compensation committee may increase firm value, but only in countries with two-tier corporate boards. On the other hand, our results suggest that the moderating role of women directors on the audit committee with financial expertise and on the nomination committee, while not increasing firm value, could prevent its further decline by acting as a shield for the Nordic and two-tier groups, respectively. Our findings have important implications for company managers, as these subcommittees could exert a positive influence on the decision-making process, such as reducing information asymmetries and agency costs.

董事会下属委员会会提升欧洲公司的价值吗?性别多样性在董事会中的调节作用

本研究的主要目的是分析 2016 年至 2018 年间 1490 家欧洲上市公司的董事会性别多样性对公司价值的调节作用。目的是调查具有不同小组委员会(审计、公司治理、提名和薪酬)的公司是否),或在审计委员会中具有财务专业知识的人,看到由于性别多样性的调节作用而导致公司价值增加或减少。最引人注目的证据表明,考虑到欧洲样本中的所有国家,性别多样性对公司董事会的影响可以通过调节公司治理和薪酬委员会对公司价值产生积极影响。相反,当按治理结构分组时,只有在单层董事会的情况下,对治理委员会的决定因素才具有调节作用。同样,这种对薪酬委员会的调节作用可能会增加公司价值,但仅限于拥有两级公司董事会的国家。另一方面,我们的研究结果表明,女性董事在具有财务专业知识的审计委员会和提名委员会中的调节作用,虽然不会增加公司价值,但可以通过充当北欧和两个-层组,分别。我们的研究结果对公司管理者具有重要意义,因为这些小组委员会可以对决策过程产生积极影响,例如减少信息不对称和代理成本。我们的研究结果表明,女性董事在具有财务专业知识的审计委员会和提名委员会中的调节作用虽然不会增加公司价值,但可以通过分别充当北欧和两级群体的盾牌来防止其进一步下滑。我们的研究结果对公司管理者具有重要意义,因为这些小组委员会可以对决策过程产生积极影响,例如减少信息不对称和代理成本。我们的研究结果表明,女性董事在具有财务专业知识的审计委员会和提名委员会中的调节作用虽然不会增加公司价值,但可以通过分别充当北欧和两级群体的盾牌来防止其进一步下滑。我们的研究结果对公司管理者具有重要意义,因为这些小组委员会可以对决策过程产生积极影响,例如减少信息不对称和代理成本。
