Our findings reveal that there is a strong overall interconnectedness in the agricultural inflation among BRI countries, with the total spillover index exhibiting a rapid increase from 2011 to 2013, followed by a gradual decline. Notably, China transitioned from being a net recipient to a net contributor of inflation spillovers in June 2012. The net spillover influence of China appears to be more pronounced in Southeast Asia, while its interactions with Central and Eastern European countries exhibit a pattern of alternating strength. Mechanism tests suggests that international trade, capital flows, and market sentiment are closely associated with agricultural inflation spillovers between China and BRI countries. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that for countries along the Maritime Silk Road and developed nations, spillovers predominantly occur through trade and capital flow channels, whereas sentiment factors play a more significant role in countries along the Land Silk Road and developing nations. Moreover, a floating exchange rate regime and robust institutional quality can provide some insulation against inflation. Finally, China’s progress in high-quality agricultural development is associated with a reduced level of outward spillovers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"86 ","pages":"Article 108533"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145217310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On average, CIO presence lowers the greenwashing index by 13.5 % relative to the sample mean. Mechanism analysis highlights two governance channels: (1) stronger reputational discipline, which heightens firms’ sensitivity to reputational risks, and (2) increased monitoring by financial analysts, which enhances external oversight. Together, these mechanisms explain much of CIO’s governance effect.
