| Title | The Effect of Gender Diversity in Firm Productivity |
| Summary | This thesis studies the impact of the proportion of female workers on firm productivity for Hungary. The dataset used are a linked employee-employer dataset from 2003-2011 which includes data about firm balance sheets and also work characteristics. I use pooled OLS and Fixed Effects model where the dependent variable is labour productivity and main independent variable is the proportion of females. I find that an increasing proportion of female workers has a negative impact on firm productivity using Pooled OLS regardless of the existing gender diversity of the firm. However, the estimators of the Fixed effects model show the effect is not statistically significant. |
