Stakeholder theory is a major approach to research on sustainability management. Firm characteristics, including corporate governance and business characteristics, can be represented in terms of their effects on stakeholders. In this study, a multi-regression model is used to examine the relationship between firm characteristics and the disclosure of sustainability reporting for the Taiwan 50 I...

Relatively little research has been devoted to studying self-employment among older workers although they make up a disproportionate share of the self-employed workforce. This study uses 5 waves of panel data from the Health and Retirement Study to investigate the determinants of labor force transitions to self-employment at older ages. We estimate a multinomial logit model of transitions from ...

This article investigates the asymmetric effect of internet access (index internet) on economic growth in 42 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries over period 2008-2018. The estimation procedure is obtained following a dynamic panel threshold regression technique via 1000 bootstrap replications and 400 grids search developed by Hansen (1996, 1999, 2000). investigation first explores presence infl...

Using cross-country and panel regressions, we investigate to what extent gender gaps in education and employment (proxied using gender gaps in labor force participation) reduce economic growth. Using the most recent data and investigating an extended time period (1960–2000), we update the results of previous studies on education gaps on growth and extend the analysis to employment gaps using pa...

Consider a detector which records the times at which the realizations of a nonparametric regression model exceed a certain threshold. If the error distribution is known, the regression function can still be identified from these threshold data. We construct estimators for the regression function. They are transformations of kernel estimators. We determine the bandwidth which minimizes the asymp...
