Understanding the paradox of primary teacher shortage in low‐income countries: Insights from Malawi

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Malawi faces a persistent and chronic teacher shortage, particularly at the primary school level, with much of the challenge attributed to teacher supply constraints. While the causes of teacher shortages are known to be complex and context‐dependent, there remains a lack of in‐depth, country‐specific research to guide effective policies ...

A Simple Cloud-Native Spectral Transformation Method to Disentangle Optically Shallow and Deep Waters in Sentinel-2 Images

Remote Sensing, 2022
This study presents a novel method to identify optically deep water using purely spectral approaches. Optically deep waters, where the seabed is too deep for a bottom reflectance signal to be returned, is uninformative for seabed mapping.

The Role of Sustainable Social Media Marketing Activities in Raising Bottom‐of‐the‐Pyramid Customers' Engagement, Satisfaction, and Subjective Well‐Being

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Though prior studies have explored the effects of firms' social media marketing activities on customer engagement, the dynamics characterizing this association in bottom‐of‐the‐pyramid (BoP) markets remain tenuous, exposing a critical gap. Addressing this gap, we develop and test a model assessing (a) the effects of firms' sustainable social ...

National Environmental Policies and Corporate Green Innovation: The Mirroring Versus Substitution Hypotheses

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on comparative institutional theory, we study the nature and magnitude of the effects of national environmental policies on corporate green innovation in developed versus emerging markets. Using a sample of 1831 listed firms in 34 countries from 2002 to 2020, we find that national environmental policies increase corporate green ...

Environmental, Social, and Governance Factors as Tools for Improving Market Efficiency: A Study on Equity Misvaluation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated whether superior environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices enhance corporate value and market efficiency under various economic theories. Using a multi‐country panel of 31 economies from 2015 to 2022, we find that both ESG performance and disclosure improve intrinsic value and mitigate equity misvaluation ...

Communication of Business‐Nonprofit Collaborations and Environmental Legitimacy: Exploratory Insights From Italian Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collaborations with nonprofits can enhance firms' legitimacy, yet the relationship between their communication and corporate environmental legitimacy remains poorly understood. Furthermore, research lacks an analysis of the communication of business‐nonprofit collaborations through multiple actors' perspectives.

Board Gender Diversity and Environmental Credit Risk in Banking: A Global Study of Bank Governance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between board gender diversity and environmental credit risk in the global banking sector. Using a panel dataset of 345 publicly listed banks from 75 countries over the period 2018–2022, we find that greater female representation on bank boards is significantly associated with lower environmental credit
