Corporate ESG Greenwashing: Does Regulatory Proximity Matter?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) greenwashing undermines sustainable development, yet the influence of regulatory proximity on oversight is understudied. By introducing the “distance decay effect” from geoeconomics into ESG misconduct research and using a sample of Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2022, this study reveals a ...

Data Assimilation Using Heteroscedastic Bayesian Neural Network Ensembles for Reduced-Order Flame Models

, 2021
The parameters of a level-set flame model are inferred using an ensemble of heteroscedastic Bayesian neural networks (BayNNEs). The neural networks are trained on a library of 1.7 million observations of 8500 simulations of the flame edge, obtained using

How Do Carbon Emissions Affect the Performance of Listed Latin American Firms? The Moderating Effect of Financial Slack

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyses the association between carbon emissions and financial performance in Latin American firms. The scientific literature on this topic is limited, with little evidence available in this geographical region. This study aims to address this research gap by testing hypotheses focused on analysing how Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon ...

Measuring Corporate Alignment With the Circular Economy: a Text‐Based Circularity Index From Mandatory Non‐Financial Disclosures

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to a circular economy (CE) has become a strategic priority for firms, yet empirical assessments of corporate circularity remain fragmented and heavily dependent on structured indicators or self‐reported metrics. This paper proposes a novel, text‐based circularity index derived from mandatory non‐financial statements of large ...

Target Firm's ESG Engagement and Post–M&A Performance: The Mediating Role of Acquirer's CSR Strategy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper examines whether the environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of target firms influences both accounting‐based and market‐based corporate financial performance (CFP) within the merger and acquisition (M&A) context and whether this relationship is mediated by the acquirer's corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy.

Internationalization and ESG Controversies: Do Foreign Directors on Corporate Boards Matter?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship between internationalization and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) controversies, focusing on whether foreign directors on corporate boards influence this relationship. Drawing on resource dependence theory, we argue that internationalization increases ESG controversies due to the complexity of ...

Gaussian process regression with heteroscedastic or non-Gaussian residuals

, 2012
Gaussian Process (GP) regression models typically assume that residuals are Gaussian and have the same variance for all observations. However, applications with input-dependent noise (heteroscedastic residuals) frequently arise in practice, as do ...

Are Governments Green Shareholders? The Impact of State Ownership on Environmental Performance at Home and Abroad

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the critical role that state‐owned enterprises (SOEs) can play in the green transition, relatively little is known about governments' environmental behavior as foreign shareholders. This study examines the effect of state ownership on domestic and foreign environmental performance.
