对来自 91 个国家 21,980 家公司的全球调查分析表明，女性担任公司领导职务可能会提高公司绩效。这种相关性可以反映非歧视的回报，也可以反映女性增加公司技能多样性的事实。女性在企业领导层中的任职情况与企业特征（如规模）以及国家特征（如女孩的数学成绩、对女性高管不存在歧视态度以及是否有陪产假）呈正相关。结果发现，董事会性别配额对公司绩效没有影响，但它们表明，促进女性在公司更广泛晋升的政策的回报可能是巨大的。
Analysis of a global survey of 21,980 firms from 91 countries suggests that the presence of women in corporate leadership positions may improve firm performance. This correlation could reflect either the payoff to nondiscrimination or the fact that women increase a firm’s skill diversity. Women’s presence in corporate leadership is positively correlated with firm characteristics such as size as well as national characteristics such as girls’ math scores, the absence of discriminatory attitudes toward female executives, and the availability of paternal leave. The results find no impact of board gender quotas on firm performance, but they suggest that the payoffs of policies that facilitate women rising through the corporate ranks more broadly could be significant.
