Using a sample of North American companies reporting to the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project), we investigate whether details of companies’ carbon management practices reduce the cost of debt associated with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with credit risk ratings as a proxy for cost of...

This work presents a simple and effective strategy to prepare zeolite encapsulated Pt nanoparticles at high crystallization temperature. The encapsulation Pt cation within ZSM-48 simplifies the preparation method of catalyst through one-pot method. Pt@ZSM-48 combines the advantages of both...

Fe 2 O 3 -decorated carbon nanotube fibers (Fe 2 O 3 /CNT fibers) exhibit synergistic properties and can be used in flexible electrochemical devices. One of the greatest challenges is to synthesize homogeneous Fe 2 O 3 on CNT fibers. In this paper, we have anchored Fe 2 O 3 nanocrystals...

This paper is an empirical investigation of the relative importance of aggregate disturbances and sectoral shifts in the explanation of unemployment cycles in Canada. Two contributions are made in this paper. First, the identification of these two shocks is accomplished by the mean and the...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of credit constraints on agricultural productivity in China. Design/methodology/approach – Using data from a rural financial survey, a switching regression model is used to account for endogeneity and heterogeneity. Carter presents...

The high correlation between aggregate unemployment and the dispersion of industrial unemployment can be explained by both aggregate disturbances and sectoral shifts. This paper separates the effects of these two shocks by decomposing each industry's unemployment into aggregate and idiosyncratic...
