This study explores to what extent the implementation of managerial Climate Management Practices (CMP) adopted by large publicly traded firms is associated with Corporate Financial Performance (CFP), measured by Tobin’s Q. The results show that most CMP are not significantly linked to Tobin’s Q, implying that markets largely view them as neutral with respect to value creation. These findings offer practical insights for managers, investors, and regulators, highlighting how climate management practices can be structured to better align with evolving market expectations.
Economic regulations often generate unintended consequences beyond their intended scope. We exploit Sri Lanka’s abrupt 2021 nationwide ban on chemical fertilizer imports as a quasi-natural experiment to identify how hard input constraints reshape land-use decisions.
This study investigates the relationship between distinct types of inequality and CO2 emissions using panel data on 156 countries from 1995 to 2020. These findings call for international cooperation and public policies aimed at a more equitable primary income distribution to achieve joint inequality and reduction of carbon emissions.
