The Nexus among board diversity and bank stability: Implications from gender, nationality and education

Abstract

This study investigates how diversity in the board of directors affects bank stability. We examine diversity in terms of gender, academic education, and nationality. Using a unique (global) sample from 14 countries, we find strong evidence that banks with female directors on the board are positively associated with bank stability. Directors holding high educational qualifications (PhD) are positively associated with bank stability. Conversely, foreign directors on the board are significantly and negatively associated with bank stability. Conditional on the bank type, our results reveal significantly differential effects of gender, nationality, and education on bank stability.
