Board Networks and Corporate Carbon Emissions: A Cross‐Country Analysis of Causal Effects
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines whether board networks influence corporate carbon emissions and the strategic pathways through which firms decarbonize. Using a sample of 1952 firms across 48 countries from 2003 to 2020, we employ dynamic stacked regressions that exploit exogenous carbon‐regulation shocks affecting firms connected through shared third ...

Climate Stress Testing on European SME Securitised Loans Under Climate Mitigation Scenarios
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Assessing the future impact of climate risks on the probability of default (PD) of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is challenging due to limited disclosure, policy uncertainty and exposure to physical risks. This paper addresses this gap by integrating macroeconomic variables from the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS ...

Do High Temperatures Affect Firm Demography? Evidence From Italy
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study analyses the impact of high temperatures and heat stress on Italian firm demography during 2009–2022. Combining provincial‐firm‐level data with a high‐resolution multidecadal meteorological dataset, we investigate whether high temperatures—absolute and anomalous—affect firm entry and exit rates.
