Research output: Working paperResearchpeer-review

Abstract

In this study, we consider whether the gender composition of the board of directors could have some relation with tax aggressiveness for a sample of 739 public listed companies resident in different countries for the period 2015-2019. Our fixed-effect model of panel data does not show any significant relation between female representation of the board of directors and tax aggressiveness.
