Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

  • Impacts of climate change exposure on bank performance in Northeast and Southeast Asia from 2010 to 2021: the moderating role of regulatory quality   Order a copy of this article
    by Lan Luu, Huong Trang Kim, Ha Nguyen, Trang Hoang 
    Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between climate change exposure and bank performance in the banking sector of Northeast and Southeast Asia. We assess firm-level climate change exposure by developing a specialized climate change dictionary, which is constructed by curating and integrating relevant keywords related to climate change. The frequency of these keywords within firm disclosures serves as a measure of the extent to which banks are exposed to climate-related opportunities, regulatory changes and physical risks. We observe that the positive impact of climate change regulatory and physical exposure on bank performance are more pronounced in high regulatory quality environment and after the implementation of the Paris Agreement. This study contributes to the understanding of how climate change exposure influences firms in the banking sector and highlights the importance of regulatory quality and implementation of Paris Agreement in facilitating positive impacts of exposure to climate change topics on these firms’ performance.
    Keywords: climate change exposure; bank performance; annual report; sustainability report; regulatory environment.

  • Green entrepreneurial orientation on economic performance: the dual mediating effect of green innovation capability and green brand orientation in Indian SMEs   Order a copy of this article
    by Pooja Goel, M. Karthikeyan, R. Manigandan, J. Naga Venkata Raghuram 
    Abstract: This study aims to investigate the nexus of green entrepreneurial orientation (GEO) on economic performance (ENP) with a dual mediating effect of green innovation capability (GIC) and green brand orientation (GBO) in Indian manufacturing SMEs. This study is based on the natural resource-based view theory. The data was collected from 261 owners and managers of Indian SMEs. The conceptual model was analysed through structural equation modelling in SMART PLS 4 software. The study performed importance performance matrix analysis. Moreover, the results indicated that green entrepreneurial orientation has an insignificant impact on economic performance. Furthermore, more green innovation capability and green brand orientation are fully mediating between green entrepreneurial orientation and economic performance. This study makes a significant contribution to the existing literature. By emphasising green innovation and branding, SMEs can not only address environmental challenges but also strengthen their competitive advantage in the evolving market landscape. It holds enormous value for managers seeking insights into the effective utilisation of green entrepreneurial orientation in driving economic performance development.
    Keywords: green entrepreneurial orientation; green brand orientation; green innovation capability; economic performance; Indian SMEs; IPMA analysis; SEM analysis.

  • Mitigating climate change: the role of technology patents, environmental trade and environmental tax in OECD economies (1995-2020)   Order a copy of this article
    by Burçin Çakır Gündoğdu 
    Abstract: Humans have long depended on nature for survival, yet technological advancements have often harmed the environment. However, technology does not necessarily require environmental destruction. Innovations in environmental technologies can support sustainability and reduce climate change impacts. Despite their importance, environmental patents key indicators of green innovation are understudied. This paper investigates the effects of environmental patents, environmental taxes, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth on CO emissions in OECD countries from 1995 to 2020. Using the Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality test, the study finds mutual causality between variables. These findings highlight the complex relationship between economic policies and environmental outcomes. As climate concerns grow, it becomes increasingly vital to understand how policy tools such as taxes and innovation influence emissions. The study contributes to the literature by offering insights into how environmental technologies and economic instruments can mitigate climate change.
    Keywords: Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel casuality test; environmental tax; environmental trade; environmental patent; renewable energy consumption.
