Sammendrag
This paper contributes to the growing body of research examining the link

between gender diversity in decision-making organs and financial performance.

Board diversity has been a hot topic in recent years, and a substantial body of

literature point out that diversity in decision-making organs can have positive

implications. Diversity induces a greater range of viewpoints and opinions, which

is likely to enhance the quality of decision-making. We investigate whether there

is a business case behind increasing the gender balance in corporate boards, and

document that gender diversity in small boards have a sizeable impact on firm

profitability. We take advantage of panel data methodology, which is powerful in

controlling for unobserved heterogeneity in the data. The association we reveal is

robust to various measures of firm profitability and diversity, and the inclusion of

fixed effects. The results suggest that the mixture of men and women is the key to

more effective boards.
