Resumen

La investigación empírica sobre el desempeño económico de las empresas dirigidas por mujeres sugiere que las diferencias entre este y el desempeño observado en empresas dirigidas por hombres no se debe necesariamente a diferencias entre hombres y mujeres en cuanto a sus habilidades como gerentes de esas empresas sino más bien pueden ser el resultado de las diferencias en las condiciones iniciales en las que se crearon dichas empresas. Usando información contable, este trabajo examina los efectos que algunas condiciones iniciales puedan tener sobre el desempeño económico observado para una muestra de 4450 empresas manufactureras Españolas. Los resultados indican diferencias significativas entre las condiciones iniciales de las empresas dirigidas por mujeres y, respectivamente, por hombres. Para la muestra analizada las empresas dirigidas por mujeres tienen menos activos y un menor número de empleados lo que explica, al menos parcialmente, el menor desempeño en empresas gestionadas por mujeres.
