“…The leading independent variable of this study, CEO duality, suggests potential endogeneity issues [7]. For example, the appointment of the CEO and the CEO chair may by driven by firm characteristics that affect firms' decision-making processes and thus impact firm performance [13,[92][93][94]. Some other studies have also suggested that a single leadership structure of firms is mostly endogenous; CEO and CEO chairs also have a relationship with some unobserved firm characteristics [94] that leads to endogenous issues.…”

This current study is one of the few investigations to conduct a focalized examination of the relationship between CEO duality and firm performance; however, this relationship seems to be imprecise due to the impact of the invention mechanism. This study explores the effect of CEO duality to achieve firm performance through the mediating effects of capital structure and market competition, which is an innovative model. The study incorporated the generalized method of moments (GMM) model to examine the proposed association of the CEO duality and firm performance, and the findings specified a negative relationship between CEO duality and firm performance. The results indicated that capital structure partially mediated the association between CEO duality and firm performance. The results also showed that market competition fully mediated this linkage between CEO duality and firm performance, which in turn specified a significant positive relationship with market competition, which mediated a positive relationship. By incorporating these mediators, the results determined that CEO duality reduces firm performance through the capital structure; however, it enhances firm performance by stimulating market competition.

“…In a joint audit setting, Nekhili et al. () argue that the interaction between engagement partners within the joint pair composition should also be considered. Although we control for variables that would affect audit fees, our study is limited by the degree to which audit fees reflect audit effort, because it omits other assurance services that may be purchased by the client organization in separate transactions.…”

“…The idea of increasing the representation of women on corporate boards has gained considerable ground in the last decade. In particular, the belief that women are not suitable for occupying key positions has been extensively criticized (Nekhili, Chakroun, & Chtioui, 2018 (Leszczyńska, 2018;Smith, 2018).…”

We investigate the effect of board (audit committee) gender diversity on audit fees in the French context. We also examine whether the relationship between the proportion of female directors and audit fees is moderated by the enactment of the gender quota law in 2011. We use the system GMM estimation approach on a matched sample of French firms listed in the SBF 120 index between 2002 and 2017. Consistent with the supply‐side perspective, we contend that female independent directors and female audit committee members, by improving board monitoring effectiveness, affect the auditor's assessment of audit risk, resulting in lower audit fees. Our findings also document that, by breaking the glass ceiling, the effectiveness of the gender quota law lies not in increasing the proportion of female insider directors, but in boosting the appointment of female independent directors and female audit committee members. Using the difference‐in‐difference approach, our results reveal that female independent directors and female audit committee members are more willing to assert their monitoring skills after the quota law, leading to lower audit fees. Moving beyond tokenism, we show that, after the quota law, the negative impact on non‐audit fees is strengthened only for female independent directors.

“…They conclude that gender differences in the type of business and in the manager profile found in general management literature disappear in family firms, and that only a sectoral gender effect persists. Nekhili et al (2016) find that family firms, which are more conducive to transformational leadership, offer women a more appropriate climate for exercising the function of Chair than that of CEO. In contrast, they find women CEOs to perform better in non-family firms.…”

Despite several calls for more systematic research on the role of gender aspects for entrepreneurial family businesses, rather little research on such topics has been published in the leading family business journals. More research has been published in niched or lower-ranked journals as well as books. The aim of this chapter is to provide a systematic literature review of the intersection between gender and family business research published in different kinds of outlets, outlining the status quo of the discussion along different themes as well as a research agenda to help move the field forward.
