Collaborative platooning and routing for mixed fleets of electric automated vehicles and conventional trucks

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The application of automated ground vehicles (AGVs) is well‐established in closed environments such as port terminals, while their operation in open areas remains challenging. In this work, we set out to overcome this limitation by introducing platooning as a transfer mode in heterogeneous vehicle networks.

Does Pay Transparency for Employees Affect Product Recalls?

Journal of Business Finance &Accounting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pay transparency can affect workers’ behavior and, consequently, firm outcomes. This study exploits the state‐level, staggered enactment of pay transparency laws to examine how pay transparency affects firms’ product recalls. We find that firms headquartered in pay‐transparency‐law states see an increase in product recalls.

Abstract We examine whether insiders can exploit public information to increase their trading profitability. By exploiting, as a quasi‐natural experiment, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), announced in the U.S. in March 2021 and implemented in November 2021, we provide evidence that insiders earn higher profits when government investment plans ...

Corporate ESG Profiles and Investor Horizons

The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We find that long‐term institutional investors tilt their portfolios toward firms with better Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) profiles, in the cross sections of both institutional investor portfolios and the ownership of firms. We test whether several theoretically motivated mechanisms can explain this relationship.

Webs within the web: the role of epistemic injustice in creating barriers to public legal information about rights in a digital age

Journal of Law and Society, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite concerns over the ability of citizens to understand and act on their legal rights, there has been little debate about what the effective provision of public legal information about rights entails. Viewed through the lens of epistemic injustice, this article reveals the ways in which organizations with epistemic privilege can obfuscate ...

Politicized Framing of the Future: Encouraging Innovation in Mature Ecosystems in the Face of Asymmetric De Alio Entrants

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Hubs and participants of mature ecosystems increasingly compete with de alio entrants that are hubs of more innovative ecosystems. Prior research shows how these asymmetric de alio entrants frame to win over participants from mature ecosystems and suggests that hubs of these ecosystems should respond by encouraging innovation among ...
