Based on the institutional theory, this article attempts to examine two consecutive questions regarding the impact of various factors on corporate decision in environmental information disclosure (EID): (1) whether or not to disclose; and (2) the level of disclosure. The relevance of these...

This article examines whether economic performance could affect EID and how the relationship is determined by the form of ownership from voluntarism to regulation under the current Chinese context. In this study, our empirical results show that the relationship between firms’ performance and...

We have empirically examined the relationship between top executives’ turnover and the corporate environmental responsibility by identifying the influence of ten specific turnover reasons resulting in the chairman’s departure and two important types of chairman’s succession. Using a sample...

In econometric analysis of panel data, one always doesn't have enough information to assure the existence/absence of time effects, which can lead to wrong conclusions in statistical inference such as moment estimation and hypothesis testing. In this paper, estimation of second and fourth order...

The induced ordered weighted averaging distance (IOWAD) approach is very suitable in situations in which the available information is represented with exact numerical values. In this paper, we develop some extended IOWAD operators: the linguistic induced ordered weighted averaging distance...

We establish the optimized grey model with logarithm new development coefficient by screening according to the latest statistical data during 2007 in Jiangsu Province. Empirical analysis and prediction research on rural gross social output value in Jiangsu Province from the year 2008 to 2012 are...

Based on the brief description of the developmental status of social economy in Jiangsu Province, the index system including 16 indices contained in 5 subsystems is established according to the statistics from Jiangsu Statistical Yearbook-2009, the practical situation of Jiangsu Province and the...

In this paper we study Jensen’s inequality under quadratic g-expectation, i.e., the expectation generated by backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with generator of quadratic growth in its component z. In particular, we define a new kind of convexity, the C-convexity, via a second...

In this paper, we construct a family of nonlinear operators by decoupled FBSDEs and prove that it forms a nonlinear semigroup under a binary operation. Moreover, we obtain the equivalent conditions of the monotonicity and order-preservation of semigroups.
