"The study focused exclusively on male CEOs rather than female CEOs: men account for over 90 percent of the CEOs in the authors’ study and an even larger proportion of the CEOs of large companies around the world,..." Fair enough; data set might be too small. "while female CEOs would presumably already be attuned to possible gender wage inequity, consciously or not, by virtue of being women." But this is not a reasonable conclusion. One hopes it's the reporter interpolating; otherwise the investigators have a rather rosy view of the world. Gender discrimination, to the extent it exists, seems to be rather strong in women as well. They may be measuring a certain effect, but leaving out some interesting data.
