Beyond the Aggregate
The antecedents of ESG practices have been widely studied. However, previous research has not examined the impact of chairperson media coverage (CMC) on a firm's ESG engagement. This study draws on the strategic leadership literature, stakeholder theory, and resource dependence theory to develop a theoretical framework addressing these gaps. First, by deconstructing ESG into its three key components, this research proposes that CMC enhances envir…
Returnee executives and corporate fraud
Whether and when returnee executives influence corporate fraud remains an important unresolved theoretical and practical problem. Referencing upper echelons theory and the literature on managerial discretion, we propose that firms with more returnee executives are more likely to engage in corporate fraud. In addition, we propose that the relation between returnee executives and corporate fraud is subject to organizational indicators that reflect …
Not all faultlines are created equal
Driven by the theory of sustainable development, Chinese firms have gradually realized the importance of ESG disclosure. Executives play a core role in ESG decision‐making, but whether and how top management team (TMT) faultlines affect ESG disclosure has yet to be systematically discussed. Based on the attention‐based view and faultline theory, we select 6456 observations of 910 Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2012 to 2021 as the research obje…
Earnings Pressure and Firms’ ESG Performance
On the basis of agency theory and upper echelons theory, this study examines the moderating role of executive experience in the relationship between earnings pressure and firms’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. We argue that earnings pressure negatively impacts ESG performance, as it leads executives to prioritize short-term financial gains over ESG activities with uncertain or delayed financial returns. Moreover, we posit…
The Impact of Women’s Education on the Second Childbirth Interval
Within the significant global fertility rate decline, China’s negative population growth is particularly remarkable. Over 40 years, China has experienced two notable socioeconomic trends: longer birth intervals among women and improved educational levels. Investigating the relationship between these factors will enhance understanding of China’s current challenges and provide essential insights for global population governance. This study aimed to…
How do city local government land finance spatial interaction strategies affect urban carbon productivity? Evidence from China’s Yangtze River Basin
This study builds on the fiscal decentralization and promotion tournament theories. Utilizing 12 years of panel data from 108 cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, we measure the urban carbon productivity index through a super-efficient SBM model that incorporates undesired outputs. We then analyze the effect of local land finance strategy interaction on urban carbon productivity and its mechanism using a spatial self-lagging model. Our key …
