Citations in the corpus

• Corporate governance reform and risk-taking: Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in an emerging market (2020, methodology): “As corporate risk-taking may differ on the basis of time invariant firmspecific characteristics, such as gender (Faccio et al., 2016), we control for Firm Fixed Effect in our empirical models.”
• Does board gender diversity affect corporate cash holdings? (2019, neutral): “Prior studies use the percentage of female directors on the board to measure gender diversity (e.g., Adams & Ferreira, 2009; Ahern & Dittmar, 2012; Huang & Kisgen, 2013; Faccio et al., 2016).”
• Upper Echelon Theory Revisited: The Relationship between CEO Personal Characteristics and Financial Leverage Decision (2015, result): “The result is consistent with Faccio et al (2012) who agree that firms run by female CEOs have lower leverage, less volatile earnings, and a higher chance of survival than firms run by male CEOs.”
• Corporate Socially Responsible Investments: CEO Altruism, Reputation, and Shareholder Interests (2014, neutral): “Second, it contributes to the growing literature that explores how managerial characteristics (such as age, gender and life experiences) influence corporate decisions (e.g., Faccio et al., 2011).”
• Female CEOs and Core Earnings Quality: New Evidence on the Ethics Versus Risk-Aversion Puzzle (2018, neutral): “Another strand of studies (Croson and Gneezy 2009; Faccio et al. 2016; Martin et al. 2009) has investigated gender impact on risk aversion and indicates that female executives are more risk-averse than male executives are.”
