我们提出了一个结构性平等的概念，作为平等和个人自由的竞争政策偏好之间的妥协，以解决公司治理的一个惊人的属性，即，公司董事会中女性董事的缺乏。对董事会中的女性董事实行配额的一个论点是，需要打破结构性障碍，使内部机制能够维持女性招聘超过临界数量。使用挪威实验的估计，我们应用基于代理的模型，美国董事会的数据表明，适度的数字配额产生良好的连接网络的女性董事谁实现平等的中心地位和影响力。分析表明，计算社会科学的效用，确定政策，产生替代和可能的世界更大的结构平等。
We propose a concept of structural equality as a compromise between competing policy preferences of equality and individual liberty to address a stunning property of the governance of corporations, namely, the paucity of female directors on corporate boards. An argument for imposing a quota for women directors on boards is the need to disrupt structural impediments to permit endogenous mechanisms to sustain female recruitment beyond a critical mass. Using estimates from the Norwegian experiment, we apply an agent-based model to American board data to show that modest numerical quotas generate well-connected networks of women directors who attain equality in their centrality and influence. The analysis demonstrates the utility of computational social science for identifying policies that generate alternative and possible worlds of greater structural equality.
