Monetary Policy Interdependency in Fisher Effect: A Comparative Evidence

Olatunji Abdul Shobande et al.

Summary: This paper examines the ability of the Fisher effect to describe the subjective behavior of monetary policy responses in nations constrained by global factors, using a simple DSGE model. The study integrates the Fisher effect theory into the New Keynesian DSGE model with global predictors to describe national monetary policy responses and their impact on domestic financial variables and macroeconomic fundamentals. Simulations show that the presence of global factors threatens the abilities of national monetary policy to predict financial variables and macroeconomic fundamentals in their respective economies.

Environmental performance, sustainability, governance and financial performance: Evidence from heavily polluting industries in China

Summary: This study examines the impact of governance structures on Chinese firms' environmental performance and how they moderate the link between financial performance and environmental performance. The findings suggest that board size and governing board meetings are positively associated with environmental performance, while board independence and gender diversity have positive, but insignificant association. The internal governance mechanisms have a mixed moderating effect on the financial performance-environmental performance nexus.
