This paper introduces the ESG communication gap: a within-firm measure of divergence in ESG risk disclosure between mandatory (10-K) and voluntary (earnings calls) venues. Analyzing 1,396 U.S. firms from 2006-2024, it finds the gap is perva…

Ellen Kulset, Charlotte Haugland Sundkvist, Tonny Stenheim

This study uses dictionary-based tone analysis to examine climate disclosures under the mandatory CSRD/ESRS framework. Analyzing firms listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, it finds that disclosures are generally not neutral: firms use more po…

This paper presents an ESG-as-Code framework that translates ESG regulatory texts (CSRD, SDR, SEC) into machine-executable compliance logic. It demonstrates how containerized AI workflows on Kubernetes-OpenStack enable automated, auditable,…

Zhu, Yuanrui

This dissertation builds measurement-informed geospatial LCA models for U.S. LNG and plastic supply chains. Results show significant methane underreporting and regional variation; CO₂ dominates at liquefaction sites (>95% of GHG using 100-y…

Garga, Audu Ali

This thesis empirically examines how climate finance (adaptation and mitigation) and firm-level ESG performance affect foreign direct investment (FDI). Adaptation finance boosts aggregate FDI inflows to emerging economies, while mitigation …

Müller, Tobias Wolfgang

This thesis analyzes the macroeconomic implications of green hydrogen for hard-to-abate sectors like steel and aviation. Using input-output tables, social accounting matrices, and CGE models, it quantifies employment, intersectoral linkages…

Elias Hasler

This paper examines the global economic and climate spillovers from the EU ETS using high-frequency carbon policy surprises. Higher EU carbon prices reduce emissions both within and outside the Euro Area, with no aggregate carbon leakage. T…

Abhinav Mahajan

This paper frames corporate climate risk as a multi-domain decision problem and proposes the Climate AI Decision System (CADS) architecture that integrates AI for evidence-based management. It synthesizes literature on climate finance, ML f…

Ruiyi Cao, Minggao Xue, Xinyu Hao +3

This study uses China's Low-Carbon City policy as a quasi-natural experiment to analyze firm-level emission reduction responses. Industrial firms selectively reduce electricity consumption (Scope 2) while maintaining Scope 1 fossil fuel use…

This study analyzes the impact of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions on corporate profit margins using a fixed-effects panel model on 250 global firms (2020-2023). It finds a significant negative association, especially in chemical and utilities s…

Lisa Rennels, Frank Errickson, David Smith +3

This paper applies a robust decision-making framework to climate policy evaluation, showing that shifting from expected utility maximization to a regret-averse approach drives more aggressive emissions reductions. Uncertainties about socio-…

Ajab Khan, Alhashmi Aboubaker Lasyoud, Mariam Abbas

This paper examines how different ownership types (business groups, institutional blockholders, family blockholders) affect ESG disclosure credibility and valuation relevance using a panel of 84 Turkish firms (2014-2024). Results show that …

Salma Charifa Kartout, Hanen Khemakhem

This systematic literature review examines the roles of three corporate governance pillars (management, audit committees, external auditors) in ESG disclosure, analyzing 181 articles from 2009-2024. Findings show management's role is most p…

This study shows that optimizing tillage pattern and planting density in mechanically transplanted rice can increase yields while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from paddy fields, particularly methane. It offers a promising sustainable r…

Dash D.

This paper outlines the role of green hydrogen in the global energy transition, reviewing technology, cost, and policy status and future prospects.

Zhang J.

This paper discusses the importance and technical application of well integrity monitoring in CCUS. Continuous monitoring is essential to mitigate leakage risks in underground CO2 storage, and the paper reviews current sensor technologies a…
