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
