摘要: Women often lack the opportunity to enter exclusive social clubs, reaping fewer benefits from their social networks. We investigate, conditioning on having the opportunity to interact with the right people in a professional setting, whether women can better utilize connections for career performance and advancement than men. Using a unique dataset that documents when, where, and with whom a financial analyst interacts at investor conferences, we find that female analysts issue more accurate earnings forecasts than their male counterparts after establishing connections with the firm's executives. Further evidence suggests that female analysts overcome homophilly in interactions with executives and transform conference interactions into long-term relationships, enhancing forecast accuracy for up to three years. In addition, both the capital and labor markets recognize their superior ability to utilize connections. Our findings suggest that women capitalize on professional connections to their advantage, highlighting the benefits of promoting structured networking opportunities for women in professional environments.
女性往往缺乏進入專屬社交俱樂部的機會,從而從社交網絡中獲得的收益較少。我們研究了在擁有與專業環境中合適人士互動機會的前提下,女性是否能比男性更好地利用人脈來提升職業表現和晉升。本文使用一個獨特的數據集,該數據集記錄了金融分析師在投資者會議上與何人、何時、何地互動。我們發現女性分析師在與公司高管建立聯系后,其盈利預測比男性同行更為準確。進一步的證據表明,女性分析師克服了與高管互動中的同質性偏好,并將會議互動轉化為長期人脈,從而提高了長達三年的預測準確性。此外,資本市場和勞動力市場都認可了她們利用人脈的卓越能力。研究結果表明,女性能夠充分利用專業人脈為自己謀求利益,突顯了在專業環境中為女性提供結構化社交機會的益處。
