Summary: This paper examines the impact of CEO and board gender diversity on the risk management decisions of 179 US Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) during the period of 2001-2018.

Summary: Recent research has focused on the relationship between perceived brand ethicality (PBE), consumer purchase intention, and the consumer-brand relationship. However, existing studies have produced mixed findings, and the meta-analytic reviews have not given enough attention to these relationships. This meta-analysis examines the association between PBE and consumer responses and considers the moderating effects of self-accountability and brand experience. The findings suggest that PBE positively influences consumer attitudes and intentions, with self-accountability and brand experience playing important roles in these effects.
