“…Evidence is rising that there are sex differences in risk aversion as well. See, for example, Levin, Snyder, and Chapman [1988], Hudgens and Fatkin [1985], Zinkhan and Karande [1991], Arch [1993], and Kogan and Wallach [1964]. Recent evidence in the economics literature also supports this nding.…”

We study gender differences in altruism by examining a modi ed dictator game with varying incomes and prices. Our results indicate that the question "which is the fair sex?" has a complicated answer-when altruism is expensive, women are kinder, but when it is cheap, men are more altruistic. That is, we nd that the male and female "demand curves for altruism" cross, and that men are more responsive to price changes. Furthermore, men are more likely to be either perfectly sel sh or perfectly sel ess, whereas women tend to be "equalitarians" who prefer to share evenly.

“…While risk perception is the manner people of the same gender assess risk in a rational way, and weighing information before making a decision. A number of studies have supported the notion that women have higher risk perception and/or are riskaverse than men (e.g., Byrnes et al, 1999;Hudgens & Fatkins, 1985;Pascual-Miguel, 2015;Van Slyke et al, 2002). While others asserted that women are more trusting than men (Feingold, 1994).…”

This article investigates the impact of eWOM on intention to revisit and destination trust, and the moderating role of gender in medical tourism industry. Result from structural equation modeling (n=240) suggests the following: (1) that eWOM influences intention to revisit and destination trust; (2) that destination trust influences intention to revisit; (3) that the impact of eWOM on intention to revisit is about 1.3 times higher in men; (4) that the impact of eWOM on destination trust is about 1.2 times higher in men; and (5) the impact of destination trust on the intention to revisit is about 2.3 times higher in women. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

“…Litz and Folker (2002) found a gender balanced management team had more impact on firm performance than a single gender management organization, thus they proposed a positive link between diverse management gender and firm performance. Lower performance in female owned firms can often be attributed to females' preference for lower risk (Hudgens and Fatkin, 1985;Levin et al, 1988;Sexton and Bowman-Upton, 1990). Differences in socialization experiences may result in women lacking the attitudes (e.g., risk-taking and internal locus of control) that are deemed important to small business performance (Marini and Brinton, 1984).…”

Business performance results were collected from small business entrepreneurs in one Mid-western state operating in the retail and services industries. These industries account for more than 80 percent of female entrepreneurs' fields of operation. The pattern of reported firm performance between the genders indicated that male entrepreneurs with a high school education reported the highest firm performance scores overall. Female entrepreneurs with a college degree reported the highest firm performance scores among female entrepreneurs. Aspiring female entrepreneurs need to be encouraged to complete higher education as it translates into strong future business performance.
