  - This paper empirically investigates the relationship between market power and
    female board representation in large commercial banks in the EU-27 from 2020 to
    2024. Using the Lerner Index as a proxy for market power and hand-collected data
    on female board representation, the findings suggest that increasing market power
    is detrimental to a bank’s likelihood of reaching the 33 percent gender diversity
    target for the board of directors, as proposed by the EU Directive EU2022/2381.
    The negative effect is especially pronounced for listed banks and systemically
    important banks, highlighting the importance of considering banking market structures
    (market power and competition) when enforcing regulatory diversity standards for
    those banks in particular.@eng
