Title
Canadian Interlocking Directorates: Gender, Industry
and City Differences.
Abstract
This paper examines the corporate interlocking directorates
for Canada for the year 2000 by gender. Basic descriptive
statistics are provided. Based on data from the Financial
Post, differences in the number of interlocks are detected
by both a firm’s industry and headquarters location.
Females are under-represented in all cases. Regression
equations identify the more unusual portions of the interlock
network. A network analysis of the interlocks finds the
economic core of Canada and provides measures of importance
for major urban areas to that core. An examination of the
ages of the directors show that females are on average five
years younger than males.
Key words: interlocking directorates, gender, economic core, Canada
