- Description
- 'This paper reports about a field experiment conducted to estimate the impact of the share of women in business teams on their performance. Teams consisting of undergraduate students in business studies start up a venture as part of their curriculum. Manipulated is the gender composition of teams and assigned students, conditional on their gender, randomly to teams. Teams with an equal gender mix perform better than male-dominated and female-dominated teams in terms of sales, profits and earnings per share.'
