How Does Carbon Offsetting Affect Firms' Emitting Behaviour? Global Evidence

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In light of the growing emphasis on corporate carbon reduction efforts, this study investigates the effectiveness of carbon offsetting in curbing corporate pollution levels using a global sample of firms. The analysis indicates that carbon offsetting is positively associated with corporate carbon emissions.

CEO retirement and cost stickiness

Journal of International Accounting, Auditing and Taxation
Cost stickiness is a crucial concern in accounting research. Prior research sheds light on how cost asymmetry is shaped by managerial decisions in adjusting resources either for value maximization or self-interest. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the degree of cost stickiness and intentional resource adjustments made by Chief ...

Closing the Loop in Agrivoltaics: A Radiative Cooling Coating for Synergistic Self‐Cleaning and Water Harvesting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A nanostructured photonic‐thermal coating enables radiative‐cooling‐induced condensation and water harvesting, establishing a self‐sustaining agrivoltaics microclimate loop that transforms PV panels into active climate regulators. The integration of photovoltaic (PV) panels into agricultural landscapes (i.e., agrivoltaics) offers a promising path for ...

Counterion Effects in Decatungstate Photocatalysis

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Decatungstate photocatalysis is often discussed from an anion‐centered perspective, treating the counterion as a passive charge‐balancing species. This review highlights that counterion identity can instead profoundly influence catalyst solubility, ion pairing, aggregation, stability, substrate accessibility, and catalytic performance.
