This study examines the impact of chief executive officer (CEO) gender on environmental, social and governance (ESG) controversies among publicly listed non-financial firms in the USA from 2018 to 2023. The results show that firms led by female CEOs experience significantly fewer ESG controversies. In addition, the findings reveal that the mitigating impact of female CEOs on ESG controversies is more pronounced in firms with a critical mass of women directors and a female voice in corporate boards, creating an optimal environment for ethical and socially responsible practices, thereby reducing ESG controversies.
期刊介绍:
Economic Papers is one of two journals published by the Economics Society of Australia. The journal features a balance of high quality research in applied economics and economic policy analysis which distinguishes it from other Australian journals. The intended audience is the broad range of economists working in business, government and academic communities within Australia and internationally who are interested in economic issues related to Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Contributions are sought from economists working in these areas and should be written to be accessible to a wide section of our readership. All contributions are refereed.
