Board gender diversity and bank performance : evidence from Australia

Abstract

This chapter examines any possible impact of board gender diversity on the performance of Australian banks concerning profitability, valuation, and efficiency for the period of 2004–2019. Several book- and market-based measures, as well as risk-adjusted performance measures, are studied. Generally, a moderate level of diversity is associated with better performance. Similar to the risk-diversity nexus, the effect of increasing board gender diversity may be conditional on the current amount of diversity on the board. Too high or too low level of diversity could be detrimental to bank performance.
