Previous studies claimed that the non-monotonic effects of wettability came mainly from the heterogeneity of geometries or flow conditions on multiphase displacements in porous

media. For macroscopic homogeneous porous media, without permeability contrast or obvious preferential flow pathways, most pore-scale evidence showed a monotonic [...]

Migration policy implementation studies based on Western European or North American contexts may assume that those affected by a given policy are indeed migrants. In developing

country contexts, where undocumented nationals can be indistinguishable from the foreign-born, implementation enables street-level bureaucrats to manufacture migrants [...]

While research studying the effect of CSR on prospective employees is common, virtually all works utilize similar explanations and underpinnings. Utilizing signaling theory

In markets that prioritize Corporate Social Responsibility, brands frequently encounter pressure to adopt socially progressive values. Victoria's Secret's recent shift toward

inclusivity exemplifies how rapid moral repositioning can elicit skepticism and accusations of “woke-washing.” Despite extensive research on brand authenticity, [...]

Relying on data from Thai listed firms over the period of 2015–2020, we explore the effect of outside director compensation on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and integrity,

as measured by the Anti-Corruption in Practice (ACRP) indicator, which captures the extent to which firms implement and disclose anti-corruption measures. [...]

This empirical study analyzes the relationship between a company's financial distress obtained from a bankruptcy prediction model and ESG scores from Refinitiv, MSCI, ESG Book,

and Moody's ESG. Applying a nonparametric regression technique on panel data of listed US companies for 2003–2022 reveals a pronounced and statistically significant [...]

The United States, as a leading industrial water consumer, faces substantial economic risks from water-related challenges, with projected GDP losses of $3.7 billion by 2050.

Corporate water disclosure (WD) has emerged as a pivotal strategy to mitigate these risks. [...]

The increasing complexity and frequency of multinational corporate bankruptcies pose challenges for insolvency frameworks globally. Cross-border corporate insolvency presents

numerous complex legal issues, including the choice of forum (jurisdiction), determination of the applicable law for the insolvency proceedings, recognition and enforcement [...]

Chips have become one of the most valuable and strategic commodities. At the same time, the chip industry and its global supply chains are increasingly subject to trade and

technology wars, sanctions, export controls and investment restrictions amid growing geo-economic tensions. [...]

In the context of intensifying economic nationalism and the geopoliticization of trade and investment policies, a large number of initiatives across the European Union have

been introduced to ‘de-risk’ from China by incentivizing companies to pull back and bring production back to Europe. [...]
