This paper proposes a new context, in terms of both geographic region and type of pollution, to measure the economic costs associated with climate change. We provide large-scale evidence of the economic impacts of dust storms in Iran by estimating the effect of random year-to-year variation in dust exposure on manufacturing firm productivity. Dust storms deposit in regions that are far away from their points of origin, providing a unique framework in which emissions have no interaction with local economies. Using data collected from a decade of dust storms at on-the-ground weather stations, and firm data provided by Iran’s Census of Industrial Plants, we find that firms with higher exposure to dust emission exhibit negative productivity responses: one additional day of dust storm in a year results in a decline in productivity of about 0.081%, an amount equivalent to $149 million across all firms or 0.04% of GDP of Iran. The negative impact of these storms intensifies as the outdoor area and labor size of a plant increase; the primary mitigating factors are wind speed and access to reliable transportation networks (railroad). Our estimates are robust to multiple specification checks and are precise. The analysis of the mechanisms suggests that productivity declines mainly due to adverse impacts of dust storms on the health of the workers and to disruptions in access to input and output markets. Our paper highlights the significant spillover of environmental emissions across countries with drivers that can be traced back to climate change and political unrest in the region which has hindered multiple anti-desertification projects.","PeriodicalId":348605,"journal":{"name":"Industry Specific Strategy & Policy eJournal","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132832784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first assess safety levels on site using CONSRAT. We have examined during 11 years (2000-2010) 502 construction sites of 272 Spanish companies in Mallorca. We built a panel data with these safety assessments, the accident rates from Safety Authorities and the event of firm survival or mortality from SABI database from Bureu van Dijk. Our general hypotheses are that: 1) Risk on site has an effect on the probability of having and accident and also in the current accident rate of a company; and 2) that accident rate affects the probability of a company to survive in the sector. Using probit regression model with panel data, we explore which is the relationship among all those variables in order to test the hypotheses. The results can be useful to highlight the importance of defining policies to control accident rates effectively, since this may be determinant in the sustainability, competitiveness and growth of the construction sector in the economy of a region.","PeriodicalId":348605,"journal":{"name":"Industry Specific Strategy & Policy eJournal","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124389308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nayak","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2532321","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2532321","url":null,"abstract":"The panorama of leaders, among other things gives a resounding message that we can win and do so using ethical means and more importantly share our wins and make everyone a winner in the global family. This indeed is a true culmination of the Vedic dictum. ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (for those with magnanimous minds, the world indeed is but one family). A Chuck Feeney reaching out to an impoverished child in far flung Vietnam, or a Warren Buffett’s project ameliorating the lives of people in distant Africa, or a Devi Shetty bringing the state of the art medical care within the reach of a poor Karnataka farmer, all of them stand out as winners in the truest sense because they take great delight in making everyone victorious. When the champion leaders embrace such an all-inclusive world view, they set an example for the rest which is worth emulating. The realization would dawn that one’s ultimate triumph lies not in surpassing the rest in breasting the tape but in elevating others too to the victory podium and enhancing the overall level of societal consciousness. Indeed, this is the distinguishing hallmark of all great leaders, who redefine their personal success in terms of success of their communities. In this working paper, we have attempted to provide a unifying framework to better understand the spiritual dimension of leadership by broad-basing and reinterpreting the meanings of Dharma, Yagna and Yoga, into the leadership context of contemporary organizations. In the process, we have developed a unifying framework that has been presented in this paper. It is expected that this work will enthuse many more scholars to explore these verdant pastures, which area capable of launching leadership research into a much higher trajectory.","PeriodicalId":348605,"journal":{"name":"Industry Specific Strategy & Policy eJournal","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115989271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
