Abstract

Gender quotas can increase the representation of women on corporate boards, but do they also encourage broader attitude shifts within a company? Drawing on a study of recent trends in Greece and Italy, Audrey Latura and Ana Catalano Weeks demonstrate that quotas can have an important spillover effect by encouraging corporate leadership to assign more importance to equality issues.
