女性高管是否影响公司盈余质量——基于我国上市公司的大样本分析

选用我国上市公司的大样本数据,实证检验公司高层中女性比例的高低对上市公司的盈余质量的影响。结果显示,与国外同类研究的结论不一致,在我国上市公司中,盈余反应系数、稳健性、平滑度以及持续性等各个方面的盈余质量均未因女性高管的作用而存在显著差异。  

Does top executive gender diversity affect earnings quality? A large sample analysis of Chinese listed firms

Using a large sample of Chinese listed firms, this paper examines whether the gender of top executives affects earnings quality. Unlike the findings documented in developed markets such as the U.S., our results show that earnings quality proxies, including earnings persistence, the accuracy of current earnings in forecasting future cash flows, the association between earnings and stock returns, and the absolute magnitude of discretionary accruals do not display significant differences for firms with female and male top executives. This study is the first to examine the relationship between gender and earnings quality in emerging markets such as China that offers managerial and policy implications.
