Do Women Executives Make Workplaces Safer? Evidence from Workplace Safety Violations

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In this study, we develop and test theory on whether, when, and how the prevalence of women in firms’ top management influences workplace safety – an important ‘do no harm’ dimension of corporate social performance. Consistent with our theorizing, we find that there is a negative relationship between the prevalence of women executives in firms’

Extreme Associated Functions: Optimally Linking Local Extremes to Large-scale Atmospheric Circulation Structures

, 2007
We present a new statistical method to optimally link local weather extremes to large-scale atmospheric circulation structures. The method is illustrated using July-August daily mean temperature at 2m height (T2m) time-series over the Netherlands and 500

Galerkin and Runge–Kutta methods: unified formulation, a posteriori error estimates and nodal superconvergence [PDF]

, 2011
. We unify the formulation and analysis of Galerkin and Runge–Kutta methods for the time discretization of parabolic equations. This, together with the concept of reconstruction of the approximate solutions, allows us to establish a posteriori ...
