Quantile-specific heritability of sibling leptin concentrations and its implications for gene-environment interactions

Scientific Reports, 2020
“Quantile-dependent expressivity” occurs when the effect size of a genetic variant depends upon whether the phenotype (e.g., leptin) is high or low relative to its distribution.

Board Gender Diversity and Circular Business Performance: A Novel Moderated Mediation Framework in Emerging Economies

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the influence of female directors on circular business performance (CBP), incorporating the mediating role of environmental orientation and the moderating roles of institutional pressure and stakeholder engagement. Drawing on Behavioral Agency Theory and the Natural Resource Based View, we argue that board gender diversity ...

Smoothed Conditional Scale Function Estimation in AR(1)-ARCH(1) Processes

Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2018
The estimation of the Smoothed Conditional Scale Function for time series was taken out under the conditional heteroscedastic innovations by imitating the kernel smoothing in nonparametric QAR-QARCH scheme.

Whose Sustainability Counts? Board Governance, ESG Ratings, and Sustainable Development Goals: Evidence on the ESG–SDG Wedge

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Institutional investors increasingly rely on ESG ratings to evaluate financially material sustainability risks, while governments promote corporate alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Because these frameworks differ substantially in capital market salience and monitoring intensity, board oversight may not ...

Climate Risk and Real Estate Markets in the EU: Institutional Control Through Regulation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly reshaping the economic foundations of asset markets, yet its implications for the estate sector remain unevenly understood, particularly when institutional and financial mechanisms mediate risk transmission. While a growing body of evidence links climate vulnerability to property valuation and market behaviour ...

Sustainable and Resilient Supply Networks: Digitalisation, Regulation and Climate Vulnerability in a Global Context

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing frequency of global crises has intensified concerns regarding climate vulnerability and the resilience of global production systems. This study examines the heterogeneous effects of supply chain development and supply chain digitalisation on climate vulnerability across countries, while accounting for institutional and investment ...

Nonparametric Inference for Time-Varying Coefficient Quantile Regression

Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 2017
The article considers nonparametric inference for quantile regression models with time-varying coefficients. The errors and covariates of the regression are assumed to belong to a general class of locally stationary processes and are allowed to be cross-dependent.

A plug-in bandwidth selector for nonparametric quantile regression [PDF]

TEST, 2018
In the framework of quantile regression, local linear smoothing techniques have been studied by several authors, particularly by Yu and Jones (J Am Stat Assoc 93:228–237, 1998). The problem of bandwidth selection was addressed in the literature by the usual approaches, such as cross-validation or plug-in methods.
