“…In general, the factors affecting economic growth and pollutant emissions have similar impacts on GTFP. Some researchers focused on whether environmental regulations promoted or curbed GTFP and investigated the impacts of various intensities of environmental regulation [25] and different implementation mechanisms [5,6]. The one-phase lag of the dependent variable has been used as an explanatory variable [26].…”

“…Manello in 2017 [13] estimated TFP growth considering environmental pollution and demonstrated that environmental regulation positively impacted the TFP growth in the chemical industry of Italy and Germany. However, the positive impact of environmental regulations is not always consistent because different environmental regulations are in distinct correlations to GTFP or ETFP [6]. Moreover, different environmental regulations have various effects on the green development of different areas in China [14].…”

“…Given the available data, selected three administrative levels (provincial, prefectural, and county-level) are selected to calculate the TED and the sub-indices. For instance, the calculation formula of the provincial total environmental decentralization (PTED) is equation (6).…”

“…Environmental protection policy implemented by local governments is of great significance to improvement in GTFP [5]. In recent decades, the central government of China has formulated a series of environmental protection policies [6]. According to the 11th Five-Year Plan in 2006, a 10% reduction in the emissions of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) was proposed to become a binding indicator in each province, and target responsibility and performance evaluation systems of environmental protection among local authorities are suggested to establish.…”

Environmental decentralization (ED), as an institutional factor, impacts the effectiveness of environmental regulation to achieve green productivity (GTFP). Based on panel data of 30 Chinese provinces from 2001 to 2015, this paper assessed GTFP, whose value is higher than 1. A two-step generalized method of moments (GMM) was employed to test the effects of environmental regulations (environmental protection investment (ENV) and pollutant discharge fees (PDF)) on GTFP with or without being influenced by ED. Without the impact of ED, GTFP is significantly inhibited by ENV, while it is significantly promoted by PDF. Under the influences of environmental decentralization from the central to the local authorities (TED), ENV has insignificantly negative effects on GTFP; contrarily, PDF have positive effects on GTFP. As for moderating effects of environmental decentralization at different administrative levels within a province, the degree of provincial environmental decentralization (PTED) should be decreased, while the degrees of prefectural ED (UTED) and county-level ED (CTED) should be increased. Generally, rationally allocating environmental management power among various administrative levels in a province increases the effectiveness of PDF to achieve green productivity while decreases the negative effects of ENV.

“…Therefore, it can be said that corruption is a violation of human rights, namely the collective rights of the people, which due to the leakage of the people become poor and hampered their rights to achieve economic progress due to the powerlessness of the government in carrying out development (Branco, Delgado, and Turker, 2019). Regarding the element of "adverse state finance" law enforcement agencies work together with related agencies namely BPK or BPKP which helps investigators calculate state losses (Sheng, Zhou, and Zhang, 2019). In general, criminal acts of corruption are the abuse of authority and power for the benefit of themselves or certain groups, so the main variable in corruption is power (Lima and Delen, 2019).…”

Quality Judges' decisions are decisions that are based on legal considerations according to the facts revealed at the trial, according to the laws and beliefs of the judge without being influenced by various external and internal interventions. The results of this study indicate that the judge in giving the decision still considers the overall elements included in Law No. 31 of 1999 jo. Law No. 20 of 2001 concerning Eradication of Corruption and Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crime, including elements of the evil spiritual attitude (mens rea). In the case of even being caught, mens rea is still important to prove at the trial stage. Basically, this mens rea becomes an important element to determine the accountability of the perpetrator. However, in cases of corruption, it is often difficult to find mens rea, even though in the examination it indicates that there is a State loss that arises in an event of corruption. The conclusions of this study are the consideration of the judge in giving a decision, always considering the elements of the crime, then things that alleviate, things that are burdensome than the attitude of the defendant including mens rea or malicious intent.

The impact of corruption and public governance quality on family firm business strategy

Corruption is a plague with serious economic and social consequences and has a greater impact than people perceive. The impacts on business are severe but often underestimated. The aim of this paper is to analyze the influence of public governance environment on the strategical opportunistic use of related party transactions in family firms. Considering corruption as a good indicator of conditions that boost unethical behavior, the study investigates whether high standard of public governance quality at a regional level, as well as low corruption, helps to reduce specific types of opportunistic transactions. Based on a regression analysis on European‐listed family firms in Italy, France, and Germany, we find that high public governance quality at the regional level reduces companies' opportunistic transactions. The study addresses a gap in the literature, first, because it empirically shows a link between the quality of the context and some unethical business strategies, confirming that a negative context leaves room for opportunistic behaviors and that high standards in the public governance quality discourage firms' opportunistic behaviors through specific transactions and, second, because it focuses on family firms suggesting that a strong family power that controls strategy and decision‐making process, if operate in a bad public quality context, may be involved in opportunistic behaviors.
