Beyond transparency: Unpacking the financial effects of third-party environmental disclosure in China's semiconductor sector.

This study aims to investigate the impact of third-party environmental information disclosure (EiD) on the corporate financial performance (CFP) of Chinese semiconductor companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges from 2008 to 2022. Utilizing the two-way fixed effects model and method of moments quantile regression (MMQR), the results reveal that for each unit increase in third-party EiD index, there is a corresponding 0.87% increase in investments returns.

ESG practices mitigating geopolitical risks: Implications for sustainable environmental management.

As climate change and geopolitical conflicts intensify, understanding how geopolitical risks affect companies prioritizing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices is crucial. This study investigates the dynamic relationship between global geopolitical risks and the performance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and non-ESG companies, particularly their influence on green markets. Utilizing a robust methodological framework, including the dynamic time-varying parameters vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) model, and causal impact modeling, we analyze daily financial data from 2021 to 2024.

How military spending, economic growth, and renewable energy impacts ecological footprints in Next Eleven nations.

The objective of this study is to investigate the association between military spending and environmental sustainability within the N-11 countries. There exists a strong correlation between sustainable economic expansion and energy consumption, which in turn results in the generation of elevated levels of carbon emissions. Moreover, it is plausible that a correlation exists between military spending and the degradation of the environment.

Unveiling the environmental efficiency puzzle: Insights from global green innovations.

The latest surge of global uncertainty and disruptions in global supply networks put policymakers under pressure to emprise green innovations as a vital tool to address environmental concerns. However, producing green innovations doesn't always help in achieving environment-related sustainable development goals. Therefore, in this study, we endeavour to investigate to what extent green innovations are efficient in improving environmental efficiency.
