Research on ESG performance and OFDI willingness: Based on the fusion of financing constraints and productivity threshold.

This paper constructs a theoretical model on how ESG performance affects enterprise's Outward Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI) intention from the perspective of integrating financing constraints and productivity thresholds, and uses data from Chinese A-share listed companies for empirical testing. The findings indicate a positive correlation between ESG performance and the willingness of corporations to OFDI. Furthermore, the heterogeneity analysis reveals that the impact of ESG performance on OFDI is more significant for enterprises with a high degree of digital transformation, containing foreign equity, operating in industries.

How does the import of environmental intermediate goods affect CO2 emissions? theoretical and empirical research of prefecture-level cities of China.

This paper constructs a theoretical model of biased production decisions due to the import of environmental intermediate goods. Additionally, it analyzes the influence of these imports on CO2 emissions based on the trade and CO2 emission data of Chinese prefecture-level cities from 2000 to 2016. Furthermore, it empirically explores how environmental intermediate imports affect CO2 emissions.

Research on the impact of industrial robot application on the status of countries in manufacturing global value chains.

The fast growth in the installation of industrial robots has had a major impact on the comparative advantage of nations and the division of labor in global value chains in the era of smart manufacturing. Using various econometric models and panel data from 18 industries in 38 countries from 2000 to 2014, this paper empirically examines the impact of industrial robot applications on the status of countries in manufacturing global value chains and its mechanisms. The study demonstrates that industrial robot application can effectively improve the status of countries in manufacturing global value chains, and this improving effect is more obvious for developing countries and labor-intensive and technology-intensive industries.

The receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) mediating immune response in thick shell mussel Mytilus coruscus.

The receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) is a intracellular receptor for the protein kinase C family which mediates various biological processes. Here, a novel RACK1 gene termed Mc-RACK1 was identified from thick shell mussel, Mytilus coruscus. Mc-RACK1 shared typical RACK1 domains containing WD repeats, PKC phosphorylation sites, N-myristoylation sites, PKC activation sites, TK phosphorylation site and WD motifs.

Transcriptome analysis of Mytilus coruscus hemocytes in response to Vibrio alginnolyficus infection.

As an economically important bivalve, the Mytilus coruscus is cultured widely in the eastern coast of China. In recent years, this bivalve has been seriously affected by the pathogenic infections. To elucidate the host defense mechanisms of M.
