摘要
From business to politics and academia, the economic effects of gender quotas are under scrutiny. We provide newcausal evidence based on the introduction ofmandatory gender quotas for boards of directors of Italian listed companies. Exploiting staggered board elections, we find that quotas are associated with a new selection of board members, characterized by higher education and lower age, and no significant costs on firm performance or the stockmarket.
