  1. Table 4 shows the effect of women inclusion in governance system on bank risk-taking across different dividend policy decisions, using the dynamic system GMM estimation. Model 9 shows the full sample while models 10 and 11 respectively show the differences in the relationships in banks that pay dividend and those that do not. Dependent variable is the Z-score (equals the return on assets plus the capital asset ratio divided by the standard deviation of asset returns). Standard errors in parentheses
