Unlike prior studies focusing on the institutional effects of free speech, this paper examines whether individuals who prioritize free speech hold more racially tolerant attitudes. Using individual-level data from the Integrated Values Survey, individuals who prioritize free speech are found to be 2.3 percentage points more likely to hold racially tolerant attitudes, with a standardized effect of 2.65%. This association is robust to alternative fixed effects structures and clustering approaches and persists after conditioning on a broad range of individual-level controls. Results are corroborated using Afrobarometer data across 33 African countries. These findings are consistent with multiple theoretical mechanisms linking free speech values to tolerance, including persuasive communication and counterspeech, support for an independent media, and a broader culture of tolerance rooted in Enlightenment liberal norms. Overall, the results suggest that the social costs of restricting free expression extend to broader effects on tolerance.</p>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"79 3","pages":"806-827"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/kykl.70059","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148386756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conceptualize liberty orientations as varying in their prioritization of individual autonomy relative to the general interest. Using nationally representative survey data, we estimate a recursive generalized structural equation model (GSEM) with instrumental variables to address potential endogeneity between liberty orientations and well-being. Falsification tests confirm the validity of our instruments. The results indicate that civic and communitarian orientations are positively and significantly associated with higher levels of life satisfaction compared to libertarian and utilitarian orientations. The fit between freedom orientations and local institutional quality matters since living in areas with low institutional quality reduces the positive nexus between being civic or communitarian and subjective well-being. Our findings suggest that the value-context fit and value systems emphasizing voluntary alignment with, or prioritization of, the general interest foster higher well-being, consistent with research strands highlighting the importance of social relationships, generativity, procedural utility, and collective purpose discussed in the paper. Our contribution is both theoretical, by refining the typology of liberty orientations, and empirical, by providing causal evidence of their effects on subjective well-being.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"79 3","pages":"655-675"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148386491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this gap, this study draws on institutional theory to explore the relationship between promarket reforms and the reduction of environmental misconduct, focusing on the moderating effects of political ties (PT) and returnee directors. Analyzing a sample of 721 Chinese firms, we find a significant negative relationship between promarket reforms and environmental misconduct. Moreover, PT weakens this relationship, whereas returnee directors strengthen it. These findings remain robust across various alternative measures and endogeneity tests, including propensity score matching analysis, Heckman two-stage model, and a 2-year lagged analysis.

In this respect, state fragility—a term covering governance gaps, political instability, and economic turmoil—has emerged as a vital and rather unexplored cause of environmental degradation. This study examines how state fragility drives environmental degradation by analyzing the Fragile States Index (FSI) and PM2.5 air pollution across 130 countries from 2006 to 2020. Using generalized least squares (GLS) and Lewbel (2012) heteroskedasticity-based IV estimators, we disaggregate FSI into cohesion, economic, political, social, and external-intervention dimensions to identify heterogeneous effects. Results show that higher overall fragility is associated with increased PM2.5 and CO2 emissions, with economic and political fragility exerting the strongest positive impacts. Social pressures and external interventions also worsen air quality, while cohesion's effect is context-dependent—positive in baseline GLS but negative after addressing endogeneity—suggesting measurement and endogeneity issues. Controls reveal trade openness tends to raise pollution, whereas FDI and stronger institutions reduce it. Findings are more pronounced in low-income countries, underscoring sample heterogeneity. Policy implications stress strengthening governance, mobilizing green finance, and aligning external assistance with environmental objectives to break the fragility–pollution nexus.</p>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"79 2","pages":"399-428"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/kykl.70031","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147668670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
