Can large language models detect green leaders? CEO environmental backgrounds and corporate ESG performance
Spatial spillovers and dynamic trajectories of tourism economic development potential
Regional tourism economies are characterized by uneven development and spatially dependent growth, yet existing work tends to address potential measurement, dynamic evolution, and spatial spillovers in isolation rather than within an integrated framework. Drawing on panel data from Southwest China for 2011–2024, this study measures tourism economic development potential (TEDP) using the entropy-based TOPSIS method, characterizes its temporal evol…
Resilience beyond dispersion
Intelligent databases as a new type of means of production
The concepts of “means of production” and “general intellect” in Marxist political economy provide a theoretical foundation for analyzing intelligent databases (IDs). An intelligent database is a system that integrates massive amounts of data, proprietary algorithms, and high-performance computing power and can operate autonomously and self-reinforce. Its function is to continuously transform raw data into predictive, decision-making, and control…
The Impact of Corporate Biodiversity Attention on Sustainable Growth
This study aims to examine the impact of corporate biodiversity attention on sustainable growth of Chinese listed companies from 2007 to 2022. In addition, this study explores the mediating effects of environmental, social, governance (ESG) performance, corporate reputation, and green transformation between them. Corporate biodiversity attention is measured by text analysis, and fixed effects models are used to do the analysis. The results reveal…

CEO Succession and Corporate Investment
This study investigates the influence of a CEO's firstborn son on corporate investment, taking into account the contingent role of the CEO's birth after the Cultural Revolution and the number of sons. Using a unique data set of the top 500 richest individuals and their associated corporate investments on the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong stock exchanges between 2008 and 2020, our findings demonstrate that a CEO's firstborn son has a significa…
ICT investment and carbon emission efficiency in regional port groups
Growing concerns about climate change have intensified scrutiny of port operations as significant contributors to global emissions, prompting ports worldwide to reconcile environmental sustainability with operational efficiency. Yet how digital investments specifically influence environmental performance in regional maritime systems remains insufficiently understood. Existing research has examined ICT’s economic impacts and operational efficiency…
When Financial Analysts Become Climate Actors
Climate‐sensitive firms face mounting pressure to innovate environmentally, yet the role of market‐based information channels remains underexplored. This study examines whether firms positioned centrally within analyst climate coverage networks exhibit enhanced green innovation. Using panel data from 12,101 firm‐years across China's eight key emission sectors between 2014 and 2024, we find that firms with more central network positions produce mo…
When Climate Protection Prices out the Poor
When governments invest millions in climate‐resilient power grids, an unexpected consequence emerges: Energy bills soar so high that vulnerable families can no longer afford basic electricity. This study investigates how extreme climate risks influence household energy poverty through multiple transmission channels using comprehensive panel data linking household energy consumption patterns with detailed climate indicators. We find that extreme c…
From City Wisdom to Corporate Action
As climate change intensifies globally, a significant gap has emerged between urban climate governance initiatives and corporate environmental action, presenting a critical challenge for sustainable development. While existing research has examined macrolevel climate policy effects, the microlevel transmission mechanisms through which urban climate governance translates into firm-level environmental responsibility remain insufficiently understood…
Climate shocks and innovation persistence
Climate change has intensified extreme weather events globally, with extreme precipitation emerging as one of the most destructive meteorological phenomena causing significant economic losses and disrupting corporate operations. Understanding how these environmental shocks affect firms’ innovation persistence is crucial for maintaining competitive advantages and driving economic growth in an increasingly uncertain climate future. Using a comprehe…
When Hurricanes Rewrite Balance Sheets
When Hurricane Harvey struck Houston in 2017, companies with seemingly identical business models experienced dramatically different outcomes, exposing critical gaps in understanding how extreme climate events affect corporate performance through complex transmission mechanisms. Using panel data from 1517 Chinese A‐share listed companies (2013–2023), we employ fixed‐effects regression with instrumental variables to examine these pathways. Results …

Misperceptions of opposite-sex preferences for thinness and muscularity
Thin and muscular have been characterized as ideals for women and men, respectively. Little research has investigated whether men and women have accurate perceptions of opposite-sex preferences of thinness and muscularity. Further, no study has explored whether opposite-sex perceptions of thinness and muscularity preferences differ for short-term and long-term relationships. The present study set out to address these questions. We used interactiv…
Visual Development of Chinese Children, Studied with Eye-Tracking Technology
Visual ability is important for the development of human intelligence and life abilities. In the process of receiving external information, the highest proportion comes through vision, up to 83 percent. Thus the healthy development of visual ability is crucial. Childhood is the main period for visual development. Eye-tracking technology can be used to study visual development in children. We therefore designed a complete experimental procedure an…
Toxic Leadership and the Masculinity Contest Culture
Recent years have witnessed an increase in scholarly and practitioner interest in the effects of toxic forms of leadership and “win or die” organizational cultures in which employees seek to maintain their own status at all costs, yet there is little research examining the interaction of this type of leadership style and organizational culture. In this survey study of working adults, we demonstrate an association between perceptions of toxic lead…

On the subjective experience and correlates of downtime at work
In the current paper, we studied downtime at work. Downtime represents a unique aspect of work time, as employees have low workload and more discretion about their activities but are still paid to be at work. Despite its prevalence and potentially significant implications for productivity and well‐being, the experience of downtime has not been a focus in the literature. To study this phenomenon, we first used a qualitative method involving 15 foc…
