How does the use of industrial robots affect the ecological footprint? International evidence

[Retracted] An Empirical Study on the Relationship between New Energy Vehicle’ Export Sophistication and Industrial Structure Upgrading in China

“…Industrial upgrading and GDP growth are connected but distinct, with the development of industrial structure and quality representing an increase in production efficiency [ 22 ]. Although partial and gradual industrial upgrading may not improve a country's overall production efficiency and economic growth, comprehensive and radical industrial upgrading of leading companies is integrated with economic growth [ 23 ]. It inevitably enhances a country's overall production efficiency and economic development.…”

The synergistic effect of green trade and economic complexity on sustainable environment: A new perspective on the economic and ecological components of sustainable development

“…The global warming currently being experienced is the after‐effect of human‐induced increase in greenhouse gases (Karl et al, 2009). A dangerous consequence of this rise in greenhouse gas emissions is climate change leading to abnormal temperatures, melting icebergs, rising sea levels, severe and frequent tornadoes, severe and frequent snowfalls and changes in natural habitats of animals, among others (Chen et al, 2022; Coskuner et al, 2020). As can be inferred from the Paris Agreement, the international community realises how serious the economic and health effects of climate change are, yet most nations are still reluctant to discontinue their economic growth strategies (Kang & Lee, 2021; Wang & Lee, 2022).…”

Unlocking the myths of size expansion in China's large state‐owned enterprises: Theory and evidence

“…Based on the agency theory (Jensen, 1976), in firms with higher information asymmetry and agency cost, managers prefer to conduct empire building behaviors, which lead to a large firm size. To alleviate the impact of agency cost and information asymmetry, we include more control variables about corporate governance, including analysts following ( Analysts ), board independence ( BInD ), institutional ownership ( IO ), separation between voting rights and cash flow rights ( Separation ), and CEO–Chairman duality ( Duality ) (Chen et al, 2022, 2015). In Table 13, Benefits , Tax , and Employee present positive and significant coefficients, which are in line with previous results.…”

“…The ordinary least squares (OLS) regression reflects the average reaction of a dependent variable to independent variables and is affected by the extreme value. We follow Chen et al (2022) and Lee et al (2022) to carry out the 50% quantile regression and present the results in Table 14. The coefficients of Benefits , Tax , and Employee are still positive and significant and in line with previous results.…”
