Female Leadership and Financial Performance: A Meta-Analysis
Gömöryová, Katarína ; Havránková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Novák, Jiří (referee)
Is female leadership the secret ingredient to financial prosperity? This question has been the subject of extensive research, yet the findings remain inconclusive. We aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of this relationship employ- ing contemporary techniques on the up-to-date dataset comprising 1,131 esti- mates gathered from 96 distinct studies. We clarify the theoretical underpin- nings and methodological challenges in estimating this effect. Then we address the pervasive issue of publication bias resulting in the mild preference for pos- itive outcomes. After filtering out this bias, the study finds a negligible mean effect estimate, suggesting that the impact of women in leadership on financial performance is minimal. We further explore the potential factors that could account for variations in the estimated effects across different studies. Utilising Bayesian Model Averaging, weighted by the inverse number of estimates, we identify thirteen significant moderators that influence the relationship under study. Among these, the proportion of female authors, the impact factor of the journal, the duality of the CEO role, and the tenure of leaders are found to exert the most positive influence on the effect. Conversely, the age of leaders pushes effect the most in the opposite direction....

Payoff of having children - Do elderly parents of more children live in a nursing home less often?
Gömöryová, Katarína ; Votápková, Jana (advisor) ; Landovská, Petra (referee)
This thesis examines how having children impacts the probability of elderly parents to be placed in a nursing home using logit models. Three alternative dependent variables are tested - admission regardless of length, long-term and short-term residency. Additional regressors include demographics, living arrangements, health status, social network, functional and cognitive limitations andjobsituation. Theresultsshowthat residential proximity of children affects each type of institutionalisation. Thenumberofchildrenwasimportantforthe overall admissions regardless of length and short-term stays in a nursing home when size of the household was considered. It was never significant in case of long-term stayers. When partners shared a household together, the number of children did not play a significant role in any type of nursing home placement. In a robustness check, the number of grandchildren replaced the number of children. It was significant in case of admissions and short- term residency even though elderly partners shared one household. Therefore, our results implicate that social policy should be focused on attracting younger cohorts to stay in areas densely populated by the elderly.
