Corporate Social Responsibility and Financial Performance in Europe: The Moderating Effects of Industry, Culture, and Governance

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance for European firms, and the moderating roles of industry and country‐specific factors in this relationship. Studying a sample of 2340 companies across 18 countries, we find Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) scores to ...

Nonparametric priors for vectors of survival functions [PDF]

open access: yes
The paper proposes a new nonparametric prior for two-dimensional vectors of survival functions (S1,S2). The definition we introduce is based on the notion of Lévy copula and it will be used to model, in a nonparametric Bayesian framework, two-sample ...

Critical Discourse Analysis in Corporate Reports: Legitimation Strategies in the Context of Environmental Controversies

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the use of environmental disclosure as a strategic tool to manage legitimacy crises in a mining company, adopting critical discourse analysis (CDA) as the main methodology. Focusing on a case of environmental disaster, this research reveals how corporate narratives can be manipulated to minimize responsibility and reinforce

Pricing Derivatives on Two Lé}vy-driven Stocks [PDF]

open access: yes
The aim of this work is to study the pricing problem for derivatives depending on two stocks driven by a bidimensional Lévy process. The main idea is to apply Girsanov's Theorem for Lévy processes, in order to reduce the posed problem to the pricing of a

Transforming Business Models for a Better Future: Investigating Effects of Sustainable Business Model Archetypes on Consumer Adoption Behavior

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity and ecological degradation demand that companies rethink how they create, deliver and capture value. Sustainable business model innovations (SBMIs) offer a promising pathway, yet empirical insights into how different SBMI archetypes affect consumer adoption behavior are scarce.

Bitcoin Volatility and Intrinsic Time Using Double-Subordinated Lévy Processes

open access: yesRisks
We propose a doubly subordinated Lévy process, the normal double inverse Gaussian (NDIG), to model the time series properties of the cryptocurrency bitcoin. By using two subordinated processes, NDIG captures both the skew and fat-tailed properties of, as

A Donsker Theorem for Lévy Measures [PDF]

open access: yes
Given n equidistant realisations of a Lévy process (Lt; t >= 0), a natural estimator for the distribution function N of the Lévy measure is constructed. Under a polynomial decay restriction on the characteristic function, a Donsker-type theorem is proved,

Variance optimal hedging for continuous time additive processes and applications

open access: yes, 2012
For a large class of vanilla contingent claims, we establish an explicit F\"ollmer-Schweizer decomposition when the underlying is an exponential of an additive process.

Physiology–microhabitat matching may help organisms cope with the thermal and hydric challenges under climate change: a tale of two lizards

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Climate change is significantly affecting biodiversity, and organisms that depend on external temperature – such as ectotherms – are particularly vulnerable to these effects. Microhabitats provide refuge for species, thereby reducing exposure to thermal and hydric stress under climate change.

Dependent jump processes with coupled Lévy measures [PDF]

open access: yes
I present a simple method for the modeling and simulation of dependent positive jump processes through a series representation. Each constituent process is represented by a series whose terms are equal to a transformation of the jump times of a standard ...
