Realizing the environmental benefits of solar photovoltaics (PV) will require reducing costs associated with perception, informational gaps, and technological uncertainties. To identify opportunities to decrease costs associated with residential PV adoption, in this paper we use multivariate...

Energy technology adoption is a complex process, involving the social, behavioral, and economic factors that impact individual decision-making. This paper uses an empirical, geographic information system (GIS)-integrated agent-based model of solar adoption to explore the importance of using...

This manuscript examines the dynamics of policy change in the U.S. federal bureaucracy. Existing theories of policy change, especially punctuated equilibrium, suggest limited attention and institutional friction as key drivers of punctuated policy change. Yet, scholars have not addressed the...

Punctuated equilibrium theory seeks to explain policy volatility and stability in government attention. In previous research into the temporal dynamics of punctuations, scholars found that punctuations occur in clusters–a recent budgetary punctuation in creases the likelihood of a subsequent...

Many organization theories suggest that divergent goals can hamper an organization's pursuit of its primary mission. An earlier version of this article analyzed the effect of the pursuit of divergent goals on American public schools. This is an update of the original article that adds two years...

We examine whether ESG funds’ investment decisions are sensitive to firms’ environmental disclosures, beyond summary ESG ratings. We create our measures of environmental disclosure using bigrams extracted from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards trained against authoritative...
