Are women chokers?
February 12th 2007 @ 12:52 pm General Economics

Steven Landsburg thinks they might be, and that’s why we don’t see many top female executives.
If his argument is to apply in the corporate world, it means that the decisions and actions of top executives really are marginal, in the same way that fighting over a match point at Wimbledon is. Of course, the really marginal decisions could be occurring urther down the corporate ladder, where the real competition takes place. By the time you reach the higher echelons of lower-senior management, perhaps there are fewer women for this reason.
