Team Gender Diversity and Investment Decision Making BehaviorVicki L. BoganCornell University David R. JustCornell University - Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management Chekitan DevCornell University - School of Hotel Administration February 2013 Review of Behavioral Finance, Forthcoming Abstract: We investigate whether the gender composition of a fund management team influences investment decision making behavior. Using an experimental economics approach, we examine the relationship between gender diversity and investment decisions. We find evidence that a male presence increases the probability of selecting a higher risk investment. However, the all male teams are not the most risk seeking. Moreover, having a male presence increases loss aversion. In the context of workforce composition, these results could have important implications for team investment decisions driven by the assessment of risk and return trade-offs.
