GBDD

We present a Gender Board Diversity Dataset (GBDD), which provides a cross-country perspective on women in management and supervisory boards that spans between 1985 and 2020. The data covers 43 European countries and accounts for private companies in addition to the stock-listed ones. GBBD was created using firm-level Orbis data. Our measures are based on a sample of more than 28 million unique firms observed for nearly seven years on average and reporting data about nearly 59 million individuals on management and supervisory boards. We provide the measures at the level of industry, country and year (firm-level data is proprietary). We provide three measures. The first is the share of women among all board members in a given industry, country, and year. The second one is the average of the shares of women across firms in a given industry, country and year. We also provide a new measure: the share of firms in a given industry, country and year which report no single woman on their board(s).

本研究提出董事会性别多元化数据集（Gender Board Diversity Dataset，GBDD），该数据集覆盖1985年至2020年的时间跨度，从跨国视角展现了各国管理层与监事会中的女性参与情况。数据集涵盖43个欧洲国家，不仅纳入上市公司，还包含私营企业。本数据集依托企业层面的Orbis数据库数据构建而成。本数据集的测度指标基于超过2800万家独特企业的样本，这些企业的平均观测时长近7年，且提供了近5900万名管理层与监事会成员的相关数据。我们提供了行业、国家与年度三个维度的测度指标（企业层面数据为专有数据）。本次共推出三类测度指标：其一为特定行业、国家与年度下，全体董事会成员中的女性占比；其二为特定行业、国家与年度下，各企业女性占比的平均值；此外我们还提出了一项全新测度指标：特定行业、国家与年度下，董事会中无女性成员的企业占比。
