Nuria Reguera-Alvarado

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relation between board gender diversity and economic results in Spain, the second country in the world to legally require gender quotas in boardrooms and historically characterized by a minimal female participation in the workforce.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the link between female representation on audit committees (ACs) and specific information attributes of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosures and examined whether the role of women is moderated by the busyness and intensity of the committee.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed how the tenure and the number of directorships of independent directors may influence the relationship between board independence and firm performance and found that the board's independence positively influences the firm's performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination between agency theory and resource dependence theory was used to find that directors' capital may have an effect on R&D strategies. But only if the resources acquired by directors through their experience and connections positively influence research intensity, but only if directors can carry out their monitoring activity adequately.

TL;DR: The results indicate that long tenures and a high number of directorships compromise the ability to monitor, and highlight the need for a more specific approach, based on the personal characteristics of independent directors, in order to study their influence on corporate decisions.
