Exploring Firm-Level Innovation and Productivity in Developing Countries: The Perspective of Caribbean Small States
With Winston Moore and Andrea Presbitero I have contributed to this book with a chapter on The Gender Gap in the Caribbean: The Performance of Women-Led Firms. The paper shows that women-managed firms are in fact less productive than other comparable firms.

Barking up the wrong tree? Measuring gender gaps in firms’ access to finance
Journal of Development Studies, 50, 10, 1430-1444
The article is written in collaboration with Andrea Presbitero and Claudia Piras.
The literature on gender-based discrimination in credit markets is recently expanding but the results are not yet definitive. This paper exploits a new dataset on Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago and finds that more precise measures of the gender composition of the firm show that women-led businesses are more likely to be financially constrained than other comparable firms.
Definitions matter. Measuring gender gaps in firms’ access to credit
IADB discussion paper, 314, Inter American Development Bank, Washington.
With C. Piras and A. Presbitero
The literature on gender-based discrimination in credit markets is recently expanding but the results are not yet definitive and have not been generally agreed upon. This paper exploits a new dataset on Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, which provides detailed information about female ownership and management in firms for investigating the existence of a gender gap in access to finance. The evidence presented herein suggests that more precise measures of the gender composition of the firm show that women-led businesses are more likely to be financially constrained than other comparable firms.
