There have been various laws or regulations in recent years requiring that a certain number/percentage of corporate board members come from the under-represented group. Where diversity requirement is not a law, it becomes increasing common for employers to include diversity statement in the recruitment process, especially public organisations.
This project aims to quantify the effect of diversity practices on diversity and economic performances. The project plans to use secondary data (e.g., S&P 500, FTSE 100 companies, etc) and econometric analyses to achieve the goal. A good knowledge of econometrics is essential. Proficient use of statistical packages is desirable.
The candidate is expected to address the academic contribution to the literature, dataset, methodology, potential challenges of the project and the limitations of the proposed project.
