While prior research has examined climate change's effects on capital structure and investment decisions, the role of trade credit, a vital tool for liquidity management, has received limited attention. Drawing on data from US firms between 2001 and 2021, this study investigates how climate change exposure affects suppliers' provision of trade credit. The empirical findings reveal a statistically significant positive relationship between climate exposure and trade credit provision, particularly among firms with greater financial flexibility, weaker performance, or lower reputational standing. Moreover, shareholders respond favorably to such credit expansions. These results suggest that trade credit functions as a risk-sharing mechanism for climate-exposed firms, offering novel insights into adaptive financial strategies and stakeholder responses to environmental challenges.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46659,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Financial Management & Accounting","volume":"37 3","pages":"584-607"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149177623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet accounting and finance research has been slow to exploit its full potential. This paper argues that neurophysiological methods are not merely novel measurement tools, but theory-enabling instruments that can reveal otherwise unobservable mechanisms underlying judgment, disclosure processing, incentives, ethics, and risk-taking. Drawing on a systematic review of 55 high-quality studies published in leading journals, we show how these methods uncover the roles of attention allocation, cognitive effort, emotional arousal, learning, and moral conflict in shaping accounting and financial decisions. Our analysis demonstrates that existing research remains heavily concentrated on eye-tracking, while EEG and fMRI are still underused despite their greater potential to discriminate between competing theoretical explanations. Building on this evidence, we develop a mechanism-based framework that integrates neuroaccounting and neurofinance and repositions neurophysiological methods from a peripheral methodological novelty to a central analytical resource for international financial management and accounting research. We further derive a prioritized research agenda that identifies where these methods can generate the strongest theoretical leverage, the clearest cross-domain insights, and the most consequential advances for future scholarship.</p>","PeriodicalId":46659,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Financial Management & Accounting","volume":"37 3","pages":"608-646"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jifm.70016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149177596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a comprehensive U.S. sample (1999–2020), we document a positive association between greater comparability and increased cost stickiness. The relationship is markedly stronger for firms facing high uncertainty and for firms whose analyst forecasts are less accurate or more dispersed. We also find that higher comparability notably raises the likelihood of subsequent sales growth and increases the future value derived from incurred costs. Overall, more comparable accounting enables managers to convert slack resources into profits and design strategies to bolster future sales.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46659,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Financial Management & Accounting","volume":"37 3","pages":"539-563"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149177639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a dataset comprising 26,216 observations at the firm-year level on listed enterprises in China from 2007 to 2018, we demonstrate that corporate internationalization enhances firms' green innovation, with media attention acting as a key transmission channel. This positive effect appears stronger among government-controlled enterprises, large companies, and those characterized by more robust corporate governance practices. Further cross-sectional test reveals that the positive effect remains consistent across host countries with different levels of development, suggesting that internationalization plays a consistently supportive role in firms' green innovation efforts, regardless of the host country's development status.

The results show that intensified tax enforcement is associated with a significant increase in corporate R&D investment, especially for firms subject to stronger governmental tax pressure, weaker external information environments, lower market competition, and stronger tax avoidance incentives. Mechanism analyses show that improved information transparency, which relaxes financing constraints and mitigates managerial career concerns, is the primary channel, rather than R&D manipulation. Overall, the findings enrich the literature on the economic consequences of tax enforcement, advance understanding of the institutional drivers of innovation, and highlight the role of information technology in modern tax administration and innovation-oriented tax design.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46659,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Financial Management & Accounting","volume":"37 3","pages":"564-583"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149177582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
