Abstract:
This study investigates the effects of female CEOs and CFOs on stock tail risk and firm value. Results using the Taiwan data show the female CEOs have a positive effect on stock tail risk whereas the female CFOs have a negative effect. Female CEOs stimulate growth of the firm by undertaking more external investments with M&As that increase the tail risk, while CFOs promote organic growth of the firm using R&Ds and interact with R&Ds to reduce tail risk. Both female executives improve firm value.
