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.","lang":"eng"}],"_id":"65694","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"user_id":"50109","ddc":["040"],"jel":["G21","G34","J71"],"author":[{"full_name":"Voigt, Simone","last_name":"Voigt","first_name":"Simone","id":"50109"}],"status":"public","title":"The nexus of market power and female board representation in European banks","year":"2026","has_accepted_license":"1","publication_status":"draft","date_updated":"2026-05-27T07:04:49Z"}
