摘要：
Using data from Danish military draft sessions we document three results: First, employees in family firms have on average lower IQ than employees in nonfamily firms. This gap is higher for CEOs and in high-skill job occupations. Second, the IQ gap is correlated with other well established measures of talent. Third, the employee IQ is positively correlated with management practice, which is significantly lower in family firms. We also document that family members at all levels on average have higher IQ than non-family members but family leaders tent to hire employees with lower IQ relatively to non-family leaders. Our findings are consistent with that the talent gap is rooted in family firms’ lower ability to identify and provide incentives for talented individuals.
