The impact of public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots in last‐mile delivery

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing concern over emissions from last‐mile logistics is motivating the development of innovative delivery models aimed at reducing environmental impact and traffic congestion. To this end, we propose a last‐mile delivery scheme based on both public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots.

Regional Community Building in Hard Times: Communal and Functional Filtering at EU Borders During the COVID‐19 Pandemic

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Pandemics are times of closure. States typically restrict the entry of persons to protect their national communities from external health hazards. In this regard, the COVID‐19 pandemic presented the European Union (EU) with a severe challenge. We ask to what extent the border policies of EU member states during the pandemic supported regional ...

Market Shares as a Collusive Marker: Evidence From the European Truck Industry

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collusion theory robustly predicts non‐cartel rivals will raise their prices and increase their output. As a typical cartel cuts back production, its competitors are expected to gain market share during the collusive period and to lose market share in the period following the cartel's demise. We provide empirical support for this prediction by

Character and creditworthiness: Unveiling the role of job titles in peer‐to‐peer lending

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Using data from the Prosper lending platform, we examine the influence of job‐based trust on credit market dynamics. We find that the generalized trust implied by borrowers' job titles, as a reflection of individuals' ethical and integrity standards in professionals, positively affects listing and loan performance.

Journal of International Financial Management &Accounting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper delves into the influence of bank debt in shaping the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and a firm's value. As a result of the superior informational and monitoring functions of bank borrowers in their lending relationships, we argue that a firm's degree of bank debt might signal the ...
