  • Do CSR committee characteristics matter for climate change performance?   Order a copy of this article
    by Ahmed Oussii, Maher JERIJI, Mouna Abdennadher 
    Abstract: This study investigated the impact of CSR committee attributes on corporate climate change performance in the French setting. Data were collected for a sample of 77 nonfinancial French-listed firms for a period six years (20172022). The findings show that corporate environmental performance increases with CSR committee size, meeting and women representation. We also found evidence supporting agency theory and resource dependence theory. This study contributes to the ongoing debate on the determinants of firms climate change performance by examining the effect of CSR committee characteristics on firms climate change performance in France as a developed market worldwide. It also reinforces the initiative undertaken worldwide to promote environmental disclosure and performance. Our findings provide useful insights for regulators and stakeholders concerned with corporate governance and climate change to assess CSR committee effectiveness in reducing carbon emissions and ensuring environmental performance.
    Keywords: CSR committee; carbon emission; corporate climate change performance; CDP; France.

  • Impact of Stock Market Capitalisation on Firm Performance: Revisiting the European Firms   Order a copy of this article
    by Nafisa Ahmad, Tanzina Akhter, Paolo Saona, Mohammad Zahir Raihan, Md. Abul Kalam Azad 
    Abstract: This study seeks to rigorously re-examine the intricate relationship between stock market capitalization and corporate performance within the European context, contributing to the existing corpus of literature on market capitalization and financial growth. In the methodology, we employ the fixed effects model to investigate the micro- and macroeconomic effects within each country's economy. The analysis is based on a dataset drawn from selected European countries covering the period from 2010 to 2020. To control for company-level metrics, we utilize data from the Heritage Foundation's Index of Economic Freedom. We validate model robustness checks by means of two-step system GMM estimation. As we uncover relationships between stock market capitalization and corporate performance, we witness surprisingly little interest that researchers in the field display. To test further, we inspect the impact of equity market capitalization on GDP growth using regulatory and institutional indicators as context variables. The results reveal that the performance of individual firms significantly influence the macroeconomic discussion in a novel way.
    Keywords: stock market capitalisation; firm growth; firm performance.
