Gender & Finance recently presented its research at the research seminar in finance of the University of Lausanne and the Swiss Finance Institute at EPFL<\/strong>: Is Gender in the Pocket of Investors? Identifying Gender Homophily Towards CEOs in a Lab Experiment<\/a> on December 4th 2020. The presentation took place online due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Three stylized facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the seminar, we motivated our research with three stylized facts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #1: Women are under-represented in CEO positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #2: Stock markets in the US react more negatively to the appointment of a female CEO than to that of male CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #3: Women are under-represented also in finance related educational and professional arenas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We presented how our research can provide a unified explanation of the three stylized facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
