Whether the real performance of corporate social responsibility is related to social progress and development in the critical period of China's economic transformation. It is crucially significant for improving social welfare and promoting high-quality economic development to clarify the...

Corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are subject to skewed logic due to excessive government regulation. China is progressively adopting the Market Access Negative List (MANL) pilot to transfer the power of resource allocation from the government to the market. Using the DID method, we...

In this paper, we assess listed companies in China to empirically examine the relationship between economic cycles and corporate digital transformation. We find that enterprises undergo a higher level of digital transformation during business contraction, and digital transformation exerts a...

This study aims to identify the systematic factors influencing venture capital performance in emerging technology. Emerging technologies are the driving force of contemporary economic and social development, but their technologies and markets are subject to great uncertainty. As a high-risk,...

Based on empirical data for the Chinese market from 2005 to 2021, we examine the impact of disclosure specificity on market divergence and the explanatory role of analysts. We first extract information on names, locations and numbers from management discussion and analysis (MD&A) as proxies for...

Accurate prediction of the remaining useful life (<i>RUL</i>) of lithium-ion batteries is important for battery management systems. Traditional empirical data-driven approaches for <i>RUL</i> prediction usually require multidimensional physical characteristics including the current, voltage, usage duration,...

In recent years, life insurers have increased their exposure to socially controversial bonds from alcohol, tobacco, and gaming sectors, which contradicts social-norm constraints of such institutional investors. We show empirically that the practice of investment delegation contributes to the...

The exploration of advanced porous materials in separation science has received great attention for analytical chemistry, and chromatographic separation is also an important process in analytical chemistry. Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a special class of porous crystalline...

Two new two-dimensional (2D) materials known as covalent organic framework (COF) and graphene phase carbon nitride nanosheets (CNNS) have induced great interests in photocatalysis due to their highly π-conjugate structure and wide light absorption. Herein, metal-free COF-CNNS hybrids were...
