Mitigating the Heat: The Role of AI Technology in Shielding Corporate Environmental Performance From Extreme Temperatures—Difference‐in‐Differences Evidence From Chinese Listed Firms

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme heat has become a recurring operational challenge that disrupts production, raises energy and maintenance needs, and makes it harder for firms to sustain environmental performance. However, it remains less clear whether AI‐related capability is associated with firms' ability to maintain environmental performance under recurring extreme‐

Confronting Biodiversity Risk: Its Role in Shaping Corporate External Financing Choice

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how biodiversity risk shapes corporate financing decisions. We propose a Financing Hierarchy Distortion framework, arguing that biodiversity risk amplifies information asymmetry and legitimacy costs, thereby pushing firms toward debt‐heavy adjustments.

Environmental Management Control Systems and Environmental and Economic Performance: Do Country Characteristics Matter?

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using an integrated framework that combines the natural resource‐based view with contingency theory, this study examines how environmental management control systems (EMCS) build multinational firms' environmental capabilities and balance their environmental and economic performance while accounting for cross‐country contextual conditions.

DNA barcoding of more than one million insect specimens indicates that at least one third of California's insect biodiversity remains undiscovered

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Insects are the most diverse terrestrial organisms, yet they are underrepresented in large‐scale conservation assessments. To address this gap, the California Insect Barcoding Initiative is developing a publicly accessible, statewide DNA‐barcode reference library for California insects to support scalable surveys, establish baseline biodiversity ...

Using flexible regression models for calculating hospital’s production functions

open access: yesBMC Health Services Research, 2020
Background The relative lack of flexibility of parametric models has led to the development of nonparametric regression techniques based on the family of generalized additive models. However, despite the potential advantages of using Generalized Additive

The Individual Product Level Approach to the Active Product Assortment Management of Fast‐Moving Consumer Goods

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scientific literature offers four different approaches to management of an active product assortment: (1) supply variety, (2) shelf space availability, (3) product inventory and (4) consumer perception of supply variety. All these approaches share one similar characteristic: they are not capable of assessing individual products’ sales ...

On approximate Cobb-Douglas production functions [PDF]

open access: yesCarpathian Journal of Mathematics, 2014
We introduce a new type of production function, called approximate Cobb-Douglas function, by a perturbation of Euler’s partial differential equation characterizing homogeneous function. We show that for every approximate Cobb-Douglas function, there exist an exact Cobb-Douglas function near it.

Assessing Eco‐Efficiency and the Cost of Carbon Abatement in Wastewater Treatment: Evidence From Spain

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) play a critical role in protecting public health and the environment but are also contributors to carbon emissions. Improving the eco‐efficiency of WWTPs is essential for advancing sustainability in the sector.
