Although firms' preferences about impact investing affect sustainable investment in equilibrium, little relevant empirical evidence exists to guide the theory. This paper studies whether adopting an impact investing strategy influences startups' intentions to collaborate with venture capitalists...

This research sets up to clarify the nature, the prevailing antecedents and the disruptive processes consequent to overshooting in the context of product innovation. Grounded theory and comparative case study logic are the methods applied to formulate the case study regarding the Learning...

Women's participation rate in the high-growth entrepreneurship has been consistently lower than in other high-skilled jobs for previous decades. This paper aims to explain this unique persistent gender gap in both the US venture capital industry and the US entrepreneurial activities from the...

The entrepreneurial financing process is essentially a two-sided matching process between investors and startups. This paper implements two symmetric incentivized resume rating (IRR) experiments with real US venture capitalists and US startup founders to elicit their preferences for potential...

The research endeavors to determine the correlation between the human capital of lead investors and their funding performance within equity crowdfunding syndicates, where individual investors invest along with professional investors. We posit that the multi-faceted human capital of lead...

Why would a strong authoritarian state choose not to enforce its own policy? We extend the theory of forbearance to the authoritarian context and incorporate both the supply and demand sides in our theoretical framework. In the context of China's modern social insurance system, we argue that the...

Using confidential offer-level data on the US housing market, this paper examines the rounding-off heuristics in the bilateral bargaining process. We demonstrate that home sellers and home buyers follow different rounding-off heuristics. While sellers' list prices cluster more frequently around...

Finding the optimal size and locations for Photovoltaic (PV) units has been a major challenge for distribution system planners and researchers. In this study, a framework is proposed to integrate Geographical Information Systems (GIS), mathematical optimization, and simulation modules to obtain...

Using data from COPPS/PSID, we investigate the effects of different forms and sources of income (labor, asset, welfare, and other transfers) and wealth (home equity and other wealth) on household charitable donations (total, religious, secular, combined causes, and the needy). We find that it is...

The spin-polarized transport properties of nonmagnetic (metallic Al and nonmetallic C) atomic chains adsorbed on zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) are investigated by the density functional theory (DFT) combined with the nonequilibrium Green’s function method. We find that the spin...
