摘要
The influence of female executives is gradually becoming prominent. Using samples of Chinese listed companies from 2008 to 2021, we examine the influence of female executives on corporate R&D manipulation behavior. The results show that female executives can reduce corporate R&D manipulation behavior. The mechanism study shows that increases in media attention and improvements in internal control quality are transmission paths for female executives to reduce R&D manipulation. Further research shows that R&D manipulation can reduce the technological innovation ability of enterprises.
