Does Managerial Ability Improve Environmental Performance and Overall ESG Ratings? The Impact of the European Sustainability Reporting Mandate

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
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 ...

Turning Green Into Gold: The Impact of Green Intellectual Capital on Performance in European Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of green intellectual capital (GIC)—green human, structural and relational capital—on business performance in European firms. Using Eurobarometer 498 data and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS‐SEM), results show that GIC explains 15.4% of the variance in business performance, with green ...

From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

Sustainable Innovation and Impact on Triple Bottom Line Performance: Are Innovation Types Simple Mediators?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the way sustainable innovation, conceptualized as a second‐order construct integrating sustainable orientation and innovation culture, impacts triple bottom line (TBL) performance. It also examines the mediating roles of product, process, organizational, and marketing innovations.

Exploring Tradeoffs in Syngas Production With Solid‐Oxide Electrolysis via Multi‐Objective Optimization

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
This work applies multi‐objective optimization to investigate trade‐offs between different objectives in syngas production with solid‐oxide cell co‐electrolysis. Two system designs are investigated. By systematically exploring tradeoffs between different objectives, insights, and comparisons of the operation of these designs are achieved.

Optimal model‐based design of experiments for parameter precision: Supercritical extraction case

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the process of chamomile oil extraction from flowers. A parameter‐distributed model consisting of a set of partial differential equations is used to describe the governing mass transfer phenomena in a cylindrical packed bed with solid chamomile particles under supercritical conditions using carbon dioxide as a solvent ...

Rank‐based estimation of propensity score weights via subclassification

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Propensity score (PS) weighting estimators are widely used for causal effect estimation and enjoy desirable theoretical properties, such as consistency and potential efficiency under correct model specification. However, their performance can degrade in practice due to sensitivity to PS model misspecification.
