The effect of extreme wildfire exposure on energy poverty: Evidence from Australia's Black Saturday bushfires

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study assesses the effects of the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires (BSB), which primarily occurred in rural regions of Victoria and represent the deadliest bushfire event in Australia's history, on household energy poverty. Using a linear panel event‐study, an entropy‐balanced event‐study, and a staggered difference‐in‐differences (DiD ...

Germination responses of a dry sclerophyll forest soil-stored seedbank to fire related cues [PDF]

, 2013
Fire is an integral component of many ecosystems worldwide. Many plant species require fire-related cues, primarily heat and smoke, to trigger germination. Despite the importance of this process, the responses of many Australian species to these cues are

From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.
