本文探讨了欧洲 200 万家公司高级职位性别多样性与财务绩效之间的联系。我们记录了企业资产回报率与担任高级职位的女性比例之间的正相关关系，并建立了性别多样性可能影响公司绩效的两个潜在渠道。这种正相关性在以下领域更为明显：第一，女性在劳动力中所占比例较大的行业（例如服务业）；第二，在技能和批判性思维的互补性需求较高的行业（例如高科技和知识密集型行业）。
This paper examines the link between gender diversity in senior corporate positions and financial performance of 2 million companies in Europe. We document a positive association between corporate return on assets and the share of women in senior positions and establish two potential channels through which gender diversity may affect firm performance. The positive correlation is more pronounced in, first, sectors where women form a larger share of the labor force (such as the services sector) and, second, where complementarities in skills and critical thinking are in high demand (such as high-tech and knowledge-intensive sectors).
