Moreover, performance in firms with female leadership increases with the share of female workers. This evidence is consistent with a model where female executives are better equipped at interpreting signals of productivity from female workers. This suggests substantial costs of under-representation of women at the top: for example, if women became CEOs of firms with at least 20% female employment, sales per worker would increase 6.7%.<http://didattica.unibocconi.eu/docenti/cv.php?rif=176146i> paper jointly with Luca Flabbi, Mario Macis and Andrea Moro Economic Correctness: Why Incomplete Markets Might<http://didattica.unibocconi.eu/docenti/cv.php?rif=176146i> Never Fail. (Hervé Crès<https://nyuad.nyu.edu/en/academics/faculty/herv-crs.html>) Incomplete markets fail to promote allocative efficiency because at equilibrium shareholders typically use different present values to discount future income flows. Moreover, since shareholders disagree on how to run the firms, an aggregation mechanism needs to be designed, and it is not granted that resulting collective choices are productively efficient. We challenge this conventional wisdom in a setup where agents have heterogenous beliefs by proposing a general equilibrium notion of reciprocal aggregation: Firms aggregate the preferences of shareholders, and reciprocally shareholders update their beliefs by aggregation of perceived firms' (virtual) beliefs. We show how a mere unanimity condition for both aggregation mechanisms restores the first welfare theorem. paper jointly with Mich Tvede We are looking forward to seeing you!
