EasyChair Preprint no. 6571

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the percentage of female leaders on the performance of of  Vietnamese commercial banks. The article uses secondary data from the financial statements of 31 commercial banks representing Vietnam Commercial Bank in the period 2006-2020. The author employs regression models including Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (Pooled OLS), Fixed Effects Model (FEM) and Random Effects Model (REM). Then, the model is tested with Wald test for Pooled OLS and FEM, followed by Hausman test for FEM and REM, Langman Multiplier test for Pooled OLS and REM to select the optimal model; the next step is correcting the error for the model with the Generalized Least Squares (GLS) technique and finally the GMM method to overcome the endogenous occurrence in the research model. The findings of the study demonstrate that there is a substantial number of female leads in the Board of Directors, but that this has had little impact on enhancing the performance of  of Vietnamese commercial banks.
