In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, Cristian Dezsö talks about the wage gap between men and women and how the children of CEO come into play. The gap between wages earned by men and women is still a pervasive worldwide phenomenon. But new research finds that when an organization’s male CEO has a daughter, the relative pay for women at those firms goes up, narrowing the gap.
Dezsö teaches the global economic environment and the business and government courses in the part-time MBA and undergraduate programs. His research examines the impact of top executives on firm performance, and the moderating effect of executives- demographic characteristics and firms- corporate governance arrangements. In addition, his applied game theory research examines issues related to firm reputation and technology adoption.
Smith Business Close-Up is co-produced by the Robert H. Smith School of Business and Maryland Public Television. The television segment focuses on the latest thinking in business management, and features in-depth interviews with Smith School faculty and other members of the school’s community of business leaders.
