We use a sample of 7671 distinct private firms during the 2005–2020 period applying for and eventually receiving various government grants. This allows us to identify firms with the intent to impact-invest. We employ the staggered difference-in-difference (SDiD) approach recently proposed by Baker et al. (2022) and Athey and Imbens (2022) to assess the outcomes of these investments over time and across firms. SDiD allows for firms switching back and forth between receiving and not receiving grants and thus being a treated observation or a potential control observation respectively. Our results show that firms receiving an impact investing grant, on average, increase the number of employees in the subsequent period, generate higher cash flows from operations, increase value added per employee, make higher capital investments, have higher levels of exports, but grants hinder firm productivity in the short-run. PSM, the time-varying average treatment effects, and Heckman’s two-stage approach robustness analyses further support the conclusions that the impact investing grants successfully foster firm performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51430,"journal":{"name":"Research in International Business and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142241268","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}

It also analyzes the potential conditional diversification benefits using a variety of copula functions and Conditional Value at Risk (CoVaR) measure. The results show significant crisis-sensitive and temporal dependence between oil and agricultural markets. Moreover, crude oil shows a symmetric tail dependence with both wheat, corn, soybeans, and cotton futures, whereas oil exhibits an average dependence with coffee. A strong dependence is observed between oil and cocoa (lumber) during bearish (bullish) market conditions. Oil and Live cattle have a symmetric dependence during bearish and bullish market conditions. On the other hand, we find asymmetric and bidirectional risk spillovers from oil to agricultural markets. Furthermore, the wheat futures contract appears to be the most dominating and vulnerable asset to oil price shocks, followed by lumber and corn futures, respectively, while the live cattle contracts are the least. Finally, an equally weighted portfolio offers the highest diversification benefits at a 5 % expected shortfall.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51430,"journal":{"name":"Research in International Business and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142315147","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}

China's strategy is characterized as 'imitate and innovate,' where the renminbi's payment network development mirrors, to some extent, the institutional frameworks underpinning the dollar's global use. However, it also exhibits notable differences in public sector involvement and pace of development. This comparison indicates that, for late- industrializers, central bank plays a more pronounced role in jumpstarting a currency internationalization process. Moreover, this article also contributes to the international currency literature by demonstrating how payment infrastructures can aid in enhancing a country's external resilience through currency internationalization, without necessitating the complete liberalization of the capital account.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51430,"journal":{"name":"Research in International Business and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142311731","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}

Based on linear regressions, we found that the relationship between ESG disclosure scores and firm value was significantly positive, and the results remained after robustness checks and endogenous tests. Furthermore, the mediation effect analysis indicates that the relationship is achieved by alleviating financing constraints. The subsample analyses showed that ESG disclosure scores positively affect firm value in non-state-owned, nonheavy polluting, and high-transparency firms. The results of each dimension’s relationship to firm value indicate that environmental and social dimensions significantly affected firm value in the panel data, whereas governance did not. Therefore, this paper determines the influence of ESG information disclosure and firm value in China and reveals the mediation effect of financing constraints, supplementing the influence mechanism of information disclosure and extending the previous studies bsed on the developed stock markets.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51430,"journal":{"name":"Research in International Business and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227991","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}

The evaluation of current sustainable development efforts and the identification of effective green financial tools are critical for Vietnam's progress. This study introduces the Sustainable Economic Development (SED) Index, a comprehensive measure of sustainable economic development quality across Vietnam's 63 provinces from 2015 to 2022. Using a range of analytical techniques, we explore the relationships between green credit, environmental pollution, and sustainable economic development during this period. Our findings indicate rapid growth in sustainable economic development until 2019, followed by a deceleration due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war. Green credit emerges as a pivotal factor in supporting sustainable economic growth, managing climate risks, and mitigating environmental pollution, particularly during times of uncertainty. Additionally, we observe spatial spillover effects, where the benefits of green credit and the challenges of environmental pollution transcend provincial boundaries. The study recommends promoting green credit policies, fostering regional cooperation, and enhancing local competitiveness, digital transformation, and social equality to advance Vietnam's journey toward sustainable economic development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51430,"journal":{"name":"Research in International Business and Finance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0275531924003635/pdfft?md5=25520102c6662ed2a848f3da66549201&pid=1-s2.0-S0275531924003635-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142171663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
