Title: CEO Appointments and Firm Performance in the US
Abstract: "Despite constituting a minority in positions of economic and political power, women are anecdotally overrepresented in leadership roles during periods of uncertainty and crisis, a phenomenon known as the "glass cliff" (Ryan and Haslam, 2005). This study analyzes CEO turnovers within the S&P 1500 index from 1994 to 2019 and explores various measures of firm performance to examine the existence of the glass cliff phenomenon in US firms and the drivers behind the appointment of women to top managerial positions."
