Hi all, You might find this research paper interesting. Kind regards, Mirjam *Representation is Not Sufficient for Selecting Gender Diversity* Representation of women and minorities in a “selectorate”—the group that chooses an organization's leaders—is a key mechanism for promoting diversity. We show that representation, on its own, is not sufficient for selecting gender diversity: a supportive organizational culture is also required. In the case of the Internet Engineering Task Force, a random increase in female representation in its selection committee caused an increase in female appointments only after cultural norms supporting diversity and inclusion became more salient. <https://www.nber.org/papers/w28649 <https://www.nber.org/papers/w28649>>
