This paper investigates the impact of gender quotas on firm performance using countries worldwide that have introduced a gender quota as a quasinatural experiment. Our statistical analysis shows that board members’ characteristics significantly change after implementing the gender quota. The results of our empirical analysis provide evidence that gender quotas reduce the cost of equity in the short term but decrease the Tobin’s Q in the long term and have a neutral impact on profitability in the short term and the longer term.

Are banks vulnerable to unstable governments?

Des gouvernements plus stables devraient contribuer à la préservation (amélioration) de la stabilité financière des systèmes bancaires en rendant les décisions publiques futures plus prévisibles. À cet égard, notre étude explore la relation entre la stabilité politique mesurée par la part de vote des partis gouvernementaux et la stabilité du système bancaire. En utilisant un échantillon de 84 pays au cours de la période 2004-2017, l’approche de panel dynamique confirme que ce pouvoir de vote n’est lié de manière significative au risque de défaut bancaire que dans les systèmes présidentiels. Une augmentation de la part de vote des partis gouvernementaux favorise probablement l’application de l’agenda politique du président en réduisant le degré d’incertitude politique.

Green Innovation: Good for all

Les entreprises sont confrontées au défi de combiner objectifs économiques et environnementaux. Une question évidente, récurrente est de savoir si, et dans quelles circonstances, une amélioration de la performance environnementale d'une entreprise conduit à des bénéfices plus élevés. En examinant les données sur l'innovation, la présente étude aborde la question de savoir si l'innovation environnementale (IE) est synergique avec d'autres types d'innovation. Dans ce but, nous considérons séparément les gains de compétitivité liés à l'efficacité et des économies de coûts dues à différents types d'innovations environnementales (IE) affectant l'offre et la demande de l’activité d’une entreprise. Nous identifions les interactions synergiques entre l'IE et certains types d'innovation.

Do Wealth Managers Understand Codes of Conduct and Their Ethical Dilemmas?

How do wealth managers understand and comply with the social norms embedded in banks’ codes of conduct (CoC), and how do they cope with ethical dilemmas? To answer these and related questions, we conduct a nonincentivized online survey with wealth management employees of the Swiss legal entity of a large multinational bank. We used situational judgment questions to estimate the comprehension and the level of expected adherence to the CoC principles.

What is boundary work ?

Boundaries are tools that demarcate entities or worlds, and they help maintain self-protection, emphasize legitimacy, and enable many other things to happen because of their capacity to separate or bring particular people, objects, and ideas into new configurations. Boundary work is activity related to creating, maintaining or configuring boundaries.
