ABSTRACT The aim of this research is to verify whether institutional quality affects the relationship between green innovation and firm efficiency within the high‐tech manufacturing sectors. To estimate jointly the parameters of a stochastic frontier and the coefficients of a model explaining technical inefficiency, we employed the one‐step estimation ...

AN APPROACH TO BI-OBJECTIVE GEOMETRIC PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS USING LOGARITHMIC PENALTIES FUNCTIONS
This paper introduces an optimization approach for solving Bi-Objective Geometric Programming Problems (BOGPPs). Using Logarithmic Penalty Function (LPF). The method reformulates the bi-objective programming problem into a single-objective programming framework by combining weighted objectives with logarithmic penalties to handle constraints.

ABSTRACT This study examines the role of managerial ability in driving environmental performance and overall environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings in the context of the European Union sustainability reporting regulations. Using a sample of 7242 firm‐year observations over the period 2015–2023, our results indicate a structural change in ...

Green Talk, Costly Walk: The Financial Cost of Greenwashing
ABSTRACT This study investigates the financial consequences of greenwashing, operationalized as the misalignment between ESG disclosure and actual ESG performance. While prior research has explored the reputational and ethical dimensions of greenwashing, its impact on firms' cost of debt remains underexamined.

A control approach to robust utility maximization with logarithmic utility and time-consistent penalties [PDF]
We propose a stochastic control approach to the dynamic maximization of robust utility functionals that are defined in terms of logarithmic utility and a dynamically consistent convex risk measure.
