This paper investigates whether female directors affect financial performance (FP) in Chinese banks through long-run or short-run investment before and after financial crisis. The sample is 15 Chinese banks in 2006-2012. Unlike previous studies regarding board of director of Chinese banks, this study focuses on female directors’ percentage, position, ages and education degree. Three empirical results are shown. First, in most cases, female directors would affect bank’s FP before financial crisis, but have no effect after financial crisis. Second, there is no consistent conclusion regarding the effect of female directors through long-run or short-run investment. At last, female directors may affect FP of Chinese banks more dependent on other factors than on investment. |
