Study finds that companies with no women on the board outperformed those with women

It's a tricky one to examine statistically, as you don't really know the level of input of the women on the boards. Following a single company's fortunes over time before and after the addition of female board members might be better than comparing those successful enough to be able to take the risk of employing female board members to the mean. With far more entirely male boards they will by definition tend more to the mean, where as those companies who employ women would be more likely to be outliers.
Though with Norway and some EU nations poised to add quotas of 40% female board members we will probably see the hysterical effects of fucking with the free market when these feminised boards go up against the entirely male American and Asian internationals.
