Georges BIDI, PhD
Abstract Preview
The responsible actions can allow corporate citizens to improve their reputation and a better management of stakeholders’ relations. One of the board’s roles is convincing shareholders and investors that investment in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is consistent with their interests. A growing presence of women is observed on boards. Women directors are very sensitive to issues related to CSR reporting and firm performance. The aim of the paper is to study the relationship between corporate CSR reporting and firms’ performance according to whether they have or not women on their boards. We investigate the moderating effect of women directorship on the relationship between CSR reporting and performance for a sample of French listed companies belonging to the SBF 120 index during the period 2001-2010. The results show that the presence of at least one woman on the board impacts positively CSR reporting and firm performance.

E. D’Elia, R. De Santis
Abstract Preview
In this paper, we investigate the impact of trade and financial integrationon economic growth and income inequality in 35 OECD countries over the period 1995-2016. Our contribution to the empirical literature is threefold: i) we disentangle the impact of economic integration in short and long run using an error correction model applied to panel data; ii) we differentiate estimates for low, middle and high income groups of countries and iii) we evaluate the impact on growth and inequality of global financial crisis, institutional quality and trade agreements. Our results show that trade openness was positively associated with GDP growth per capita and negatively with inequality. The impact of financial integration was heterogeneous. We find a positive relationship between financial integration and growth in the short run for middle income countries and a negative linkage with income inequality in the long run in low income countries.
