Empirical audit and review is an approach to assessing the evidentiary value of a research area. It involves identifying a topic and selecting a cross-section of studies for replication. We apply the method to research on the psychological consequences of scarcity. Starting with the papers citing a seminal publication in the field, we conducted replications of 20 studies that evaluate the role of scarcity priming in pain sensitivity, resource allocation, materialism, and many other domains. There was considerable variability in the replicability, with some strong successes and other undeniable failures. Empirical audit and review does not attempt to assign an overall replication rate for a heterogeneous field, but rather facilitates researchers seeking to incorporate strength of evidence as they refine theories and plan new investigations in the research area. This method allows for an integration of qualitative and quantitative approaches to review and enables the growth of a cumulative science.

This study examines the influence of executives' accounting competence on relationship between goodwill impairment signal and goodwill impairment, considering the perspective of performance compensation commitment. The research employs an empirical research method and utilizes a sample of A-share listed companies in China that have signed performance compensation commitment agreements from 2007 to 2022. I found that the executives' accounting competence weakens the relationship between goodwill impairment signal and goodwill impairment.

In this study, we investigate the impacts of three institutional pressures on corporate greenwashing strategies, with a special focus on the regulative, normative, and cognitive pressures stemming respectively from governmental supervision, media coverage, and ESG rating divergence. We further examine the moderating effects that campaign-style environmental enforcement has on these impacts - specifically, the effects of the top-down intervention facilitated by the central environmental protection inspection mechanism. Our empirical analyses provide robust evidence to substantiate the constraining effects of various institutional pressures on greenwashing.

Background: The Calgary Audit and Feedback Framework (CAFF) is a pragmatic, evidence-based approach for the design and implementation of in-person social learning interventions using Audit and Group Feedback (AGF). This report describes extension of CAFF into the virtual environment as part of a multifaceted intervention bundle to reduce redundant daily laboratory testing in hospitals. We evaluate the process of extending CAFF in the virtual environment and share resulting evidence of participant engagement with planning for practice change.

Digital technology development provides new opportunities for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance research to better evaluate firm ESG performance, improve decision-making efficiency, and enhance firm competitiveness. Therefore, under the background of digital economy, studying digitization mechanisms on ESG performance is of great theoretical and practical significance, which can help firms achieve better sustainable development and create more value for stakeholders. We use 3,827 listed A-share companies in China from 2003 to 2021 as the sample for our empirical research.

The increasing use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in homes and industry brings significant security and privacy challenges, while also considering trade-off for performance, energy consumption, and processing capabilities. Few explicit and specific guidelines exist to help architects in considering these trade-offs while designing secure IoT systems. This article proposes to address this situation by extending the well-known architectural tactics taxonomies with IoT-specific trade-offs; to preserving auditability, the trade-offs address the quality characteristics of the ISO 25010:2023 standard.
