Does board gender diversity reduce ‘CEO luck’?
Accounting & Finance, 2021AbstractWe explore the role of female directors in mitigating CEO luck. CEOs are ‘lucky’ when they receive stock option grants on days when the stock price is the lowest in the month of the grant, implying opportunistic timing. Our results show that board gender diversity significantly deters the opportunistic timing of option grants.

Because women face significantly more obstacles in advancing their careers, it may take them longer to reach the top position, i.e. the chief executive officer (CEO). If this is the case, female CEOs should be older than their male counterparts on average.

Review of Pacific Basin Financial Markets and Policies, 2022Instead of managing bottom-line earnings, firms may use revenue classification shifting to inflate core earnings due to its less risky, less costly, but viable features.
