Environmentally Sustainable Development through Stakeholder Engagement in Developed and Emerging Countries

This cross‐country study investigates the antecedents and outcomes of corporate environmental responsibility (CER) practices in developed and emerging countries. Based on stakeholder and institutional theory, we conducted an empirical study among firms in Germany, USA, India and China. We found support for a significant positive relationship between regulatory, market and social stakeholder influences, CER practices and business outcomes in the total and individual country samples. Regarding country differences, our data reveal significant similarities and differences between developed and emerging countries. Market stakeholder influences are stronger in developed countries, whereas regulatory and social stakeholder influences do not differ significantly between the two country groups. The relationship between CER practices and positive business outcomes is stronger in emerging than in developed countries. Implications for institutional theory and organizations are outlined.

美元指数对国际碳金融市场动态影响的关系研究

作为全球最重要的货币,美元在通过构建VAR模型,运用脉冲响应函数、方差分解函数及格兰杰因果关系检验等计量方法分析了EUA、CER和MY之间的联动效应,研究发现：美元对碳金融市场存在信息溢出效应,但碳金融市场对美元的影响很微弱,即它们的信息溢出效应是单向的.而碳金融市场的两大子市场之间存在着先导-滞后效应,即CER市场信息能够引导EUA市场走势.     

国际碳排市场动态效应研究：基于ECX CER市场

应用VAR模型研究了ECXCER现货与期货价格的关系,并利用脉冲响应分析了价格冲击效应。研究结果表明,CER现货价格对于其自身及各到期日期货价格的一个标准差冲击显示出很高的正效应,而CER各到期日期货价格对于其自身及CER现货价格冲击显示出较低的正效应,甚至出现负效应。进一步地,应用t—GARCH、Gaussian—G...     

浅析碳金融在我国的发展

随着低碳经济理念在全世界范围内兴起,碳金融也逐渐走入了金融服务行业。由于各国政府对环境的重视,碳金融市场日渐活跃。我国的碳金融发展也受到了促进,在政策环境和金融机构两个层面上拓展了碳金融业务和市场的发展。     

市场有效性视阈下的欧盟排放交易体系研究——基于EUA和CER的Granger因果分析

目前二氧化碳排放问题已经成为国际社会的主要议题,欧盟排放交易体系（EUETS）是碳排放权交易最活跃的市场。通过对欧盟配额（EUA）期货的价格发现功能以及EUA期货和核证减排量（CER）期货之间的Granger因果关系实证分析,发现在EuETS运行的前两个阶段,EUA期货具有较好的价格发现功能,进入第三阶段．由于政策的不确定性以及约束效力的降低,EUA期货市场的价格发现功能不再明显;EUETS中的EUA市场和CER市场之间存在较大的摩擦及阻力,市场参与主体往往不能够自由地选择价格方面对自己最有利的品种完成减排责任。     

中国浆纸企业环境社会责任分析

介绍了企业环境社会责任和环境利益相关者,阐述了浆纸企业的环境社会责任——压力与转变,并用内容分析法对环境保护部2011年印发的《国家重点监控企业名单》中的部分浆纸企业进行了企业环境社会责任的网络沟通情况分析。结果表明:大多数中国浆纸企业没有很好的履行企业环境社会责任的同时,也存在在企业环境社会责任上面向公众型利益相关者的沟通缺失;浆纸企业需要继续提高企业环境社会责任意识,提高环境社会责任沟通中信息的准确性和扩展内容范围。     

由CER产品性质探究我国碳交易发展

低碳经济作为世界经济发展的新方向,越来越受到人们关注。中国作为目前世界上最大的CDM供应方,碳交易市场潜力巨大。本文通过对于CDM交易中CER产品的价值、价格、风险分析,针对我国碳交易发展,提出加强赤道银行建设、增强产品异质性、提高议价能力、摆脱产业链下游地位、开创衍生品市场等对策,其根本目的是加快研发环保减排技术、提高国民节能环保意识、增强我国在国际市场上的话语权。     

京都议定书生效后全球CER成交状况分析与探讨

通过对京都议定书生效后全球CDR活动的长期跟踪,进行了CER注册登记数量和成交市值等状况的统计分析,对实施清洁发展机制的目标、特征,主要分布行业以及中国在国际CER市场的地位、CER交易成本和价格等问题进行了探讨。     

Corporate environmental responsibility,employer reputation and employee commitment: an empirical study in developed and emerging economies

Employer reputation is relevant not only to attract but also to retain qualified employees. While in the past financial incentives have been the most important instrument, corporate environmental responsibility (CER) is becoming more and more relevant as a determinant for employer attractiveness and employee commitment. On the basis of signaling theory, we conducted an empirical study among 215 firms in China, Germany, India and the USA. Our results reveal that green strategy & culture, green technology & products, green recruitment & evaluation and green communication positively influence the environmental reputation of a company as an employer and in turn employee commitment. The signaling effects of these CER activities are similar in Germany and the USA (developed economies) as well as in China and India (emerging economies). An exception is green communication, which has a more positive effect on environmental reputation in developed economies. We conclude with managerial and theoretical implications as well as recommendations for future research.     

Mapping Corporate Responsibility and Sustainable Supply Chains: an Exploratory Perspective

Corporate responsibility (CR) in general, and sustainable supply chain management in particular, have been a growing concern for companies and researchers over the past decade. However, in scholarly work, sustainability has often been dealt with in a generic fashion or from an anecdotal point of view. Further, research works examining CR on the one hand and sustainable supply chains on the other have been conducted separately. We undertake the multiple factor analysis of a CR rating database (Innovest) which reports longitudinal scores for both the social and environmental performance of 1198 companies in different countries and distinct industries, to demonstrate a strong relationship between CR and a sustainable supply chain. Our findings from exploratory analysis also illustrate the role of country of origin and industry in shaping CR behaviour, highlighting isomorphic as well as allomorphic trends for CR trough time.
