Weather Action: A Study on the Industry Peer Effects of Corporate Climate Risk Information Disclosure

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global climate change has elevated the strategic importance of corporate climate risk disclosure, yet the role of industry peer effects in shaping such disclosure remains underexplored. Grounded in social learning theory, this study proposes an “observation–imitation–reinforcement” framework and empirically tests it using panel data on Chinese
