  Spillover of Gender Equality or Gender Tokenism? The Diffusion of Board Female Representation on Global Supply Chains

  主讲人:丁浩员,上海财经大学商学院教授、博士生导师,商学院院长助理,国际经济合作研究院副院长

  Abstract: Drawing on the evidence from 401,565 cross-border supply chains between 2003 and 2021, we find that female board representation practices only spill over from customers to suppliers on global supply chains but not the other way around. Moreover, foreign customers’ female board representation can only drive suppliers to increase non-executive female directors but not other more important directorships. Meanwhile, echoing their foreign customers’ female board representation efforts, most suppliers will add no more than two female directors. In addition, such effects are subjected to a series of industry and country heterogeneities. Taken together, these findings suggest that the diffusion of female board representation on global supply chain primarily manifests as suppliers’ tokenism effort of legitimacy seeking.

  Adding up Peer Beliefs: Gendered Beliefs about Intellectual Abilities Transmit in Peer Environment and Impact Academic Performance

  主讲人:蔡熙乾,厦门大学经济学院及王亚南经济研究院教授、博士生导师,经济研究所所长

  Abstract: We study how gendered beliefs about intellectual abilities transmit through peers and differentially impact girls’ academic performance relative to boys. Study 1 exploits randomly assigned variation in the proportion of a child’s middle school classmates who believe boys are innately better than girls at learning math. An increase in exposure to peers who report this belief generates losses for girls and gains for boys regarding math performance. This peer exposure also increases children’s likelihood of believing the gender-math stereotype, increases perceived difficulty of math and reduces aspirations among girls. Study 2 provides proof-of-concept that activating a gender-math performance gap among college students reduces women’s math performance, but not verbal performance. Men’s task performance is not affected. Our findings highlight how the prevalence of stereotypical beliefs in one’s ambient and peer environment, even when readily contradictable, can shape children’s beliefs and academic ability.
