Gender diversity on corporate boards: When raising the voice is not enough

Sara De Masi, Agnieszka Słomka-Gołębiowska, Andrea Paci

Using the two thresholds indicated by the gender quota law, we distinguish between two possible situations that women face: (1) raising the women voice and (2) having the women voice heard
