| Abstract | The issue of board gender diversity has attracted the interest of researchers as well as policymakers in recent years. Despite extensive literature examining the relationship between board gender diversity and firm financial performance, the evidence is mixed and based extensively on large firms. This study reassesses this issue by analysing a sample of French small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) over the period 2009-2014. We empirically controlled the direction and significance of this relationship by using panel data and the two-stage least squares (2SLS) method. In contrast to existing studies, in our work among French SMEs, we do not find a significant relationship between board gender diversity and firm financial performance. This study aims to shed light on the business case for board gender diversity. |
