Examining the labour-productivity gap between women-owned and men-owned enterprises : the influence of prior industry experience / by Douwere Grekou and Jenny Watt.: CS11-0019/2021-007E-PDF ; CS11-0019/464E-PDF
"An increase in the economic participation of women has been identified as a major driver of economic growth, leading to increased interest in supporting the entrepreneurial activities of women. This paper uses newly developed data on the gender of business owners to investigate differences in labour productivity between men-owned, women-owned and equally owned enterprises. A regression model with propensity score weighting was implemented to provide an estimate of the impact of the owner's prior industry experience on labour productivity. By using propensity score weighting to adjust for various factors, including the prior income of the owner, this paper is able to provide insight into the causal relationship between the gender of ownership and many relevant factors, given the effect of prior experience on labour productivity by groups of enterprises. The results of this analysis can then be used to calculate labour-productivity gaps between the groups"--Abstract, page 5.
