Abstract: In this dissertation I examine the structural reasons for the persistent underrepresentation of women on the boards of directors of public corporations.By examining a predefined set of parameters, I verify whether the corporate directorate is equitably accessible to men and women.These parameters include certain nominal parameters (e.g.profession) and graduated parameters (e.g.including number of private company directorships).The sample of directors is drawn from the Standard & Poor 500 index of companies and extends over five years.The final sample consisted of 219 men and 147 *** p < 0.001 ** p < 0.01 * p < 0.05 † 0.05 < p < 0.1 *** p < 0.001 ** p < 0.01 * p < 0.05 † 0.05 < p < 0.1
