However, its role in fostering agricultural productivity growth in the region remains underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between China's OFDI and agricultural productivity in 58 B&R countries from 2003 to 2021. Utilizing panel data, we quantitatively assess agricultural productivity while incorporating the influence of Chinese OFDI. Furthermore, the analysis distinguishes between high-income and middle- to low-income countries, offering a nuanced understanding of differential impacts. The results indicate that China's OFDI significantly enhances agricultural productivity across the region, with a particularly pronounced effect in middle- and low-income countries. This suggests that Chinese investments are more impactful in countries with lower income levels, underscoring their critical role in addressing disparities and promoting sustainable agricultural development. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers in China and B&R countries, emphasizing strategies to deepen investment collaboration and advance agricultural sustainability, food security, and nutrition outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51430,"journal":{"name":"Research in International Business and Finance","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 102886"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143768315","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}

This study presents a theoretical model that offers valuable insights into how embedding in domestic value chains influences the quality of firms' export products. Based on this framework, the paper empirically examines the impact of domestic value chain embedding on export product quality at the micro-firm level. The findings indicate that domestic value chain embedding has a significant positive effect on export product quality. Further analysis reveals that this impact operates through mechanisms through increased efficiency in fixed asset investment and productivity. Heterogeneity tests show that the effects of domestic value chain embedding are more pronounced in eastern regions, labor-intensive industries, firms with fewer financial constraints, and firms with lower initial product quality. Moreover, the results highlight that global and domestic value chains are complementary, rather than substitutive, in promoting export product quality. Finally, the study finds that digital finance positively moderates the relationship between domestic value chain embedding and export product quality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51430,"journal":{"name":"Research in International Business and Finance","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 102877"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143792231","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}

Furthermore, the study reveals structural changes during the COVID-19 pandemic and incorporates them into the DCC-MIDAS-X model, uncovering additional negative effect on the impact of some categories of EPU. Finally, the study examines the risk management performance using green and conventional assets. The results demonstrate that the green bond can be regarded as an efficient diversification tool for conventional bond assets and incorporating different categorical indices causes different effects on the efficiency.

This study systematically analyzes the impact of transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources across countries of low, middle, and high-income levels, considering complex factors such as social aspects, legislative actions, and economic conditions that influence these transitions. For this aim, the GreenQ index introduced by Lau et al. (2023); a robust econometric model, the Cross-sectionally Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS-ARDL) technique by Chudik and Pesaran (2015); and the Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) non-Granger causality test are applied to panel data from 1965 to 2021 of 53 countries. Findings highlight that advancements in green energy technologies and stringent legislative frameworks significantly reduce CO₂ emissions, particularly in high-income countries. Additionally, the results show that trade openness is associated with a slight reduction in emissions in low- and middle-income countries, while urbanization and political liberties have varying impacts depending on the income level of the country.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51430,"journal":{"name":"Research in International Business and Finance","volume":"76 ","pages":"Article 102880"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143686505","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}
