“…Finally, more guidance could be drawn from the proposed framework by using different clustering strategies. Rather than by size, the case studies could be clustered using other parameters such as geographic location or socioeconomic factors (income or education levels), which can influence the success of different development strategies (Adkins et al 2017;Rivera et al 2017). This could lead to new insights into how different parameters influence (or are correlated with) the development of a sustainable neighborhoods' profile.…”

Most self-proclaimed sustainable neighborhoods cover various concepts pertaining to the economic, social, environmental, and institutional pillars of sustainability. Depending on the developers' motivations, these concepts can be integrated unevenly. This study develops a framework to characterise the gap between what is advocated as necessary for sustainable neighborhoods and what is marketed as sustainable neighborhoods. A framework based on a sustainable neighborhood typology is developed using the Canadian province of Quebec as a case study. This is based on the main concepts underlying the four pillars of sustainability, but from a practical perspective. An analysis of sustainable initiatives (n = 29) shows a clear prioritisation of urban morphology on individual livability at the expense of participatory governance and sustainability awareness, especially for large projects promoted by private developers. A co-occurrence analysis suggests that smaller projects manage to integrate more sustainability aspects. The framework can be used to identify similarities and differences between development types for developing practical policy measures. This research highlights the importance involving public and private stakeholders at the early planning stage, in order to design more integrated projects. Policy relevance A gap is revealed between what is defined as urban sustainability and what is actually delivered by developers. Citizen participation is generally beneficial, but often lacking. There is scope for policymakers to provide compelling encouragement to build citizen involvement into the planning processes, particularly for larger neighborhood developments. From the example of the province of Quebec, this can take several forms. In some cases, more incentives from the public sector to involve citizens at the early stage of planning is favorable. This can allow stakeholders to outline the development strategy in neighborhoods. In other cases, municipalities can involve residents through a charter or regular local meetings. This requires more systemic municipal approaches to urban sustainability. Evidence suggests that local relocation of food and/or energy production can lead to successful cases of citizen participation and social solidarity.

“…The Costa Rican BF program grants a BF annually to coastal communities attaining at least a 90% score on its environmental quality requirements. The BF program assessed communities biannually on ocean and drinking‐water quality, solid waste and wastewater disposal, sanitary facilities, tourist safety, and environmental education (Rivera, Naranjo, Robalino, Alpizar, & Blackman, ).…”

This study examines whether community-level green certification strengthens or weakens firm-level environmental certification performance's effect on Costa Rican hotel room prices. Identifying how different types of environmental (green) certifications complement or substitute one another in their influence on economic benefits is essential for understanding how self-regulations programs can promote win-win green business strategies that contribute to sustainable development. Relying on a propensity score-matching approach, we analyze participation in two voluntary environmental certification programs for the entire population of Costa Rican hotels and beach communities between 2001 and 2008. Our findings suggest that for hotels with low to medium environmental certification performance, community-level green certification acts as a substitute weakening the positive effect of hotel environmental certification performance on price premiums. Alternatively, for hotels with superior environmental certification performance, green community certification acts as a complement strengthening the positive effect of hotel environmental certification performance on price premiums.

“…36–37). The nonrival aspect of an industry reputation means that an individual firm bears its rewards and/or penalties without limiting these shared reputational benefits and/or costs to other industry peers, while the excludable aspect of an industry reputation means firms in other industries are excluded from the potential consequences of the industry reputation (Prakash & Potoski, ; Rivera, Naranjo, Robalino, Alpizar, & Blackman, ). Indeed, firms within the same industry are frequently “tarred by the same brush” (King & Lenox, , p. 698).…”

Research Summary: We investigate how industrial disasters can discourage FDI and how MNCs' technological, safety management, and philanthropic capabilities can moderate these effects. Using two unique panel data sets of entry and expansion of U.S. wholly-owned manufacturing subsidiaries overseas, we found that industrial disasters are associated with reduced foreign entry of wholly-owned subsidiaries in the disaster industry, but not for all firms in the host country experiencing the disaster. We also found that MNCs' technological, safety management, and philanthropic capabilities can, in some cases, positively moderate the negative relationships between industrial disasters and the foreign entry and expansion of wholly-owned subsidiaries. Additionally, three-way interactions with government stability suggest that technological and safety management capabilities substitute government stability in managing industrial disasters, while philanthropic capability complements government stability. Managerial Summary: How can MNCs' technological, safety management, and philanthropic capabilities overcome the effects of industrial disasters such as chemical spills and explosions in host countries? Our results show that industrial disasters are associated with reduced foreign entry of wholly-owned subsidiaries in the industry in which the industrial disaster occurs, but not for other firms operating in the country experiencing the disaster. However, an MNC's technological capability can, in general, lower the negative consequences of industrial disasters in both the entry and expansion of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Regarding the institutional quality of a host country, the results imply that MNCs should develop philanthropic capability when the government stability of the host
