Green Finance for Fossil-Fuel Supply Chains Under Cap-and-Trade Regulation: Recycling, Downcycling, and Stranded-Asset Risks in Emerging Markets

Tue, 12 May 2026 04:05:14 GMT

title: Green Finance for Fossil-Fuel Supply Chains Under Cap-and-Trade Regulation: Recycling, Downcycling, and Stranded-Asset Risks in Emerging Markets abstract: This article develops an insurer-based contingent-claim framework to examine how green finance supports the low-carbon transition of fossil-fuel supply chains under cap-and-trade regulation, with a focus on emerging markets. The model integrates circular production strategies with stranded-asset risks to evaluate their impacts on equity valuation, equity risk, and insurer guaranteed-rate setting across an interconnected supply chain consisting of an upstream fossil-fuel producer and downstream plastic and electric power firms. Comparative statics show that stricter cap-and-trade regulation reduces equity values and increase equity risk for carbon-intensive firms, potentially destabilizing clean energy investment incentives associated with SDG 7. Recycling in plastic production raises downstream equity while amplifying equity risk, whereas slag downcycling supported by carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) generates asymmetric spillovers by improving upstream equity performance and lowering its risk through demand and financing channels. Overall, the results highlight how circular production and carbon regulation interact with insurer-mediated green finance to shape investment incentives, risk allocation, and the pace of the transition toward affordable and cleaner energy systems.

title: 消費者對於循環杯使用之意圖：自我決定理論之應用 abstract: 淨零排放與減塑已成為全球各地的目標，循環杯的推出也拓展共享經濟的類別；然而，目前循環杯的租借率不如預期，因此促進大眾租借循環杯之動機是為何，是本文想探討的重點。本研究以自我決定理論為基礎，運用較詳細的動機類別，也就是以內在動機、外部調節、內攝調節、認同調節、整合調節探討對租借循環杯之影響，以及何種動機影響程度較大。另外，本研究將結合近年來的趨勢，探討意見領袖透過自媒體提供循環杯之訊息是否也能促進大眾租借循環杯，亦是個值得探討的議題。本研究以問卷調查法做為資料蒐集的方法，共蒐集到508份問卷。研究結果顯示：便利性、環境效益、價值觀、享受及意見口碑領袖皆對租借循環杯之意圖有正向的顯著影響；經濟效益及自尊心則對租借循環杯之意圖不存在正向顯著影響。最後，針對研究結果，本研究亦提出管理意涵及建議供研究者、政府及循環杯業者參考。

Mentoring for effective human-AI collaboration: an integrated theoretical framework.

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 04:05:13 GMT

title: Mentoring for effective human-AI collaboration: an integrated theoretical framework. abstract: his study proposes a theoretical framework for fostering effective human-AI collaboration in the AI era by integrating the foundational principles of Affordance Actualization Theory (AAT), Event System Theory (EST), transformational theory, and transactional theory. These theories complement each other by linking the affordance of human-AI collaboration to both positive and negative reactions to AI's influence, ultimately leading to outcomes at individual, team, and organizational levels. Within this framework, the roles of transformational, transactional, and strategic mentorship as interventions in the framework are justified. By bringing personnel development perspectives into the domain of human-AI collaboration, this study concludes by discussing key implications and outlining a future research agenda for personnel training and education.

Modeling social capital, training transfer, and occupational commitment: moderation of learning value of the job

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 04:06:36 GMT

title: Modeling social capital, training transfer, and occupational commitment: moderation of learning value of the job abstract: Training significantly provides a valuable avenue for career development, influencing employees’ occupational commitment. This study delves into the influence of social capital on occupational commitment indirectly through training transfer, considering the moderating role of the learning value of the job (LVJ). Empirical findings derived from a field survey of high-tech professionals indicate that social interaction, trust, and shared vision indirectly affect occupational commitment through the mediation of training transfer. Additionally, the relationship between shared vision and training transfer is moderated by LVJ. The paper discusses on-the-job training and education implications for research and practices based on these empirical insights.

專家異質性評估：基於臺灣公共治理主觀指標調查的檢證

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 04:06:19 GMT

title: 專家異質性評估：基於臺灣公共治理主觀指標調查的檢證 abstract: 有鑑於許多公共議題具有高度專業性，一般民眾難以熟悉和提供具體的意見或評價，因此，許多國際組織採用的公共治理調查，多依賴菁英或專家來獲取各種評分或建議，我國行政院國家發展委員會自2008年起，委外執行的臺灣公共治理主觀指標調查亦是如此。由文獻檢閱可知，目前仍少有實證研究就專家異質性對調查結果的影響進行評估，使我們對專家調查的測量品質了解相對有限。因之，本研究以2012年和2013年臺灣公共治理指標專家調查結果為例，利用Q-Q圖、蒙地卡羅模擬，以及多種統計檢定等量化分析方法，從方法論的角度探討：1.無反應與趨中選答的專家答題模式；2.隨機專家假設的抽樣模擬和假設檢定；3.不同專業領域的專家異質性比較。研究結果顯示，適度減少專家的回答量（如七大面向中允許避答三個以內）並不影響推論結果，尤其學界代表的回覆普遍呈現較高同質性。此外，不同參與次數的專家在「無反應」與「中間值」的填答模式上亦展現一致性。本研究不僅有助於理解專家異質性對公共治理評估成效的影響，亦提出專家調查設計的改進建議，包括：針對首次參與者舉辦調查說明會，以協助理解調查目的與釐清較長問卷內容；在受訪者配置上，平衡政府內、外部專家比例，以降低偏誤；適度減少學界專家樣本並增納企業與公民社會的多元觀點，以提升推論結果的包容性；專家填答方式則可透過隨機減少部分必答面向，或依據其專長分配作答，仍可維持整體評估品質之穩定性。

波蘭立陶宛聯邦時期的貴族共和體制

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 04:05:36 GMT

title: 波蘭立陶宛聯邦時期的貴族共和體制 abstract: 波蘭立陶宛聯邦是 16 至 18 世紀歐洲的一個獨特的政治實體，融合了君主制、貴族制與部分民主元素，並以貴族選舉國王的貴族共和制為特徵。聯邦的黃金時代發生在 16 至 17 世紀初，期間政治、經濟和文化皆繁榮鼎盛。然而，貴族共和體制最終卻導致聯邦在 18 世紀末被俄、普、奧三國瓜分。波立聯邦內部有著極其複雜的民族、宗教、社會、經濟等等問題，因而難以成功整合成為高度認同的國家，導致了擁有龐大政治權力的貴族，大都只圖自身權益的保障及擴權，不願意承擔相應的國家社會責任，使得選王制成了外國勢力入侵的管道，自由否決權更是癱瘓國家治理與改革的手段，加上連年對外征戰，國力不斷耗損。波蘭遂成了鄰國強權的俎上肉。

Integrating augmented reality into event tourism education: Enhancing experiential value and authenticity

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 04:06:15 GMT

title: Integrating augmented reality into event tourism education: Enhancing experiential value and authenticity abstract: Cultural expositions have evolved from static displays to dynamic experiential platforms that integrate immersive technologies, fostering innovation in event organizing and management. In the field of event organizing education, these expositions provide an ideal setting for exploring immersive teaching methods and experiential learning strategies. This study examines the role of AR as a pedagogical tool in event organizing training, focusing on its impact on learners' experiential value, perceived authenticity, satisfaction and skill development. To address gaps in existing research, this study conducted an 18-week quasi-experimental investigation involving 120 undergraduate and postgraduate learners enrolled in event organizing programs in Taiwan. The learners, representing diverse cultural backgrounds, were divided into two groups: an experimental group, which engaged in AR-based event simulations, and a control group, which received traditional lecture-based instruction. Results demonstrated that AR-enhanced training significantly improved learners’ engagement, practical competencies, and ability to design immersive audience experiences. These findings highlight the potential of AR to transform event organizing education by bridging theory with practice, fostering deeper learner engagement, and preparing future event professionals with the skills necessary for real-world applications. This study offers practical implications for event educators, organizers, and industry stakeholders, advocating for the integration of AR-driven experiential learning into event organizing curricula to align with evolving industry demands.

The Approach to Enhance Brand Citizenship Behavior and Customer-Based Brand Equity: Multilevel Mediating Effects in International Tourist Hotels

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 04:06:10 GMT

title: The Approach to Enhance Brand Citizenship Behavior and Customer-Based Brand Equity: Multilevel Mediating Effects in International Tourist Hotels abstract: This research, building on social identity and social exchange theories, investigates the multilevel relationships among branding culture, person-brand fit, brand citizenship behavior, customer loyalty, and customer-based brand equity. The hierarchical linear modeling was utilized to analyze data from 172 supervisors, 318 employees, and 327 customers of 22 international tourist hotels in Taiwan. We found branding culture positively affects person-brand fit and brand citizenship behavior. Aggregated brand citizenship positively affects customer loyalty, which contributes to customer-based brand equity. A critical finding based on the holistic model showed that multilevel mediating effects of person-brand fit and customer loyalty exist.

Smart shopping meets sharing: Three-way interactions in omnichannel retailing.

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 04:06:00 GMT

title: Smart shopping meets sharing: Three-way interactions in omnichannel retailing. abstract: Smart shopping behavior has become increasingly prominent in omnichannel retail environments, where consumers strategically navigate across digital and physical channels to optimize value. Although prior research has examined the antecedents of smart shopping, its behavioral consequences—particularly regarding deal-content sharing—remain underexplored. This study conceptualizes deal-content sharing as a form of online consumer engagement and investigates how smart shopping influences such behavior under different psychological and behavioral conditions. Drawing on data from 433 Taiwanese caregivers with recent experience of purchasing children's formula milk, we tested a model with two sets of three-way interactions. The findings reveal that, from the consumer perspective, smart shoppers with high self-confidence and strong deal-seeking propensity were significantly more likely to share deal content. From the retailer perspective, those with cross-channel buying habits and high price sensitivity also showed elevated sharing behavior. The study demonstrates that smart shopping translates into socially expressive engagement when aligned with specific consumer traits. It contributes, theoretically, to omnichannel retail and consumer engagement literature by identifying boundary conditions that intensify sharing behavior and, practically, by offering guidance for designing targeted engagement strategies that amplify word-of-mouth through personalized smart shopping experiences.

How and when college students’ perception of teachers’ entrepreneurial leadership affects entrepreneurial intention: a moderated serial mediation model

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 04:05:19 GMT

title: How and when college students’ perception of teachers’ entrepreneurial leadership affects entrepreneurial intention: a moderated serial mediation model abstract: This study aims to reveal how and when college students’ perception of teachers’ entrepreneurial leadership affects entrepreneurial intention, and to provide new ideas for improving college students’ entrepreneurial intention. Utilizing a stratified cluster sampling approach in this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 769 college students enrolled in two institutions in Hainan Province, China. The research findings indicate a significant and positive influence of college students’ perception of teachers’ entrepreneurial leadership on entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, this perception affects entrepreneurial intention through both a single mediating effect and a serial mediating effect involving creative self-efficacy and creativity. The moderated serial mediation model shows that when college students perceive a higher school innovation climate, the serial mediation effect of creative self-efficacy and creativity on the correlation between their perception of teachers’ entrepreneurial leadership and entrepreneurial intention is stronger. The results of this study have important reference value for further improving college students’ entrepreneurial intention both theoretically and practically.

Insurer green financing for a supply chain under cap-and-trade regulation: a capped call contingent claim analysis

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 04:06:07 GMT

title: Insurer green financing for a supply chain under cap-and-trade regulation: a capped call contingent claim analysis abstract: This paper introduces a contingent claim analysis to examine sustainable insurance practices. It investigates how life insurers participate in sustainable lending by financing borrowing firms committed to environmentally friendly practices for cleaner production. We establish a capped call option model, where the capped function explicitly considers credit risks associated with borrowing firms in a supply chain engaged in the cap-and-trade mechanism regulated by environmental policies. Our findings reveal that tightening the cap within the cap-and-trade system and reducing green loans can enhance insurer’s interest margins. Conversely, an escalation in the green input ratio across the supply chain may reduce these margins for the insurer. However, reducing low-margin insurance offerings could jeopardize the stability of insurance. The insurer faces financial challenges while supporting borrowing firms in their efforts toward carbon reduction and sustainable production. Notably, the substantial impact of climate change fueled by carbon emissions significantly influences the underwriting of life insurance policies related to human health. Policymakers need to navigate these intricacies to establish a careful balance between environmental objectives and the financial stability of sustainable insurance.

Pollutant-specific scale economies in a supply chain under cap-and-trade regulation within the context of sustainable insurance

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 04:05:13 GMT

title: Pollutant-specific scale economies in a supply chain under cap-and-trade regulation within the context of sustainable insurance abstract: This paper introduces a capped call option within a sustainable insurance model, where the insurer acts as a fund provider and supply chain manufacturers serve as fund borrowers. The risks associated with these borrowing manufacturers are capped through green lending, providing a structured way to manage financial exposure. Both upstream and downstream manufacturers use multiproduct production technology, which inherently produces pollutants. The study investigates how cap-and-trade limits influence pollution in carbon-intensive supply chains under varying cost structures. It reveals that stricter pollution caps enhance the insurer's profit margin when manufacturers adopt subadditive multiproduct technology—where joint production reduces costs—but diminish the margin when superadditive technology is employed, resulting in higher joint production costs. Moreover, tighter cap-and-trade restrictions may inadvertently lead to increased overall pollution, as the incentive to produce more under these multiproduct cost structures can outweigh the intended environmental benefits. These findings emphasize the importance of designing green finance and technology promotion policies that account for the specific cost dynamics within supply chains, ensuring that environmental, public health, and clean energy objectives are effectively balanced.

我國「公民社會」的學術研究圖像：期刊文章的內容分析初探

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 01:23:56 GMT

title: 我國「公民社會」的學術研究圖像：期刊文章的內容分析初探 abstract: 「公民社會」（civil society），是一個看似簡單卻又難以界定的抽象概念，基本上，社會學、政治學、公共行政學、經濟學、乃至於哲學等學門，雖然對於此一概念各有不同的定義與詮釋，卻常被用以描述和解釋國家、社會、組織及個人之間錯綜複雜的關係。我國歷經1970年代的經濟發展起飛及1980年代後期推動的民主改革，激發了公民的活力，進一步促進公民社會的發展；而1990年代資訊科技發展與21世紀網際網路的普及化，不僅改變了人類的生活型態，公民社會內涵的探究也從「實體社會」延伸到「虛擬社會」。在此一發展脈絡下，我國學術界長期以來是如何對公民社會進行研究或討論？在不同的政治與社會發展時期，我國公民社會的圖像有何特徵？在學術社群中所呈現的樣貌為何？這些問題迄今似乎仍尚未受到關注與析探，這也是本研究的初始動機。基此，本研究除了透過文獻分析梳理公民社會的概念內涵與理論觀點外，並針對臺灣在1987年至2020年間與「公民社會」相關的期刊文章內容進行文字探勘分析，初步呈現我國公民社會研究的多樣性和豐富性，期能對解釋我國公民社會發展的理論建構有所裨益。

Does Quality Hurt Brand Preference for Promoted Products in a Gift Promotion Setting?

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 01:23:53 GMT

title: Does Quality Hurt Brand Preference for Promoted Products in a Gift Promotion Setting? abstract: Most previous studies have shown that free gifts positively increase promoted product sales. However, will any characteristic of the gift hurt the promoted product, and how does it happen? This study has two purposes. First, the study sheds light on the brand preference of the promoted product being hurt in a gift promotion setting and examines the causes-gift quality and perceived brand fit. Second, a mental mechanism of the negative effect of a gift quality on the promoted brand preference was explored by applying perspectives of Expectancy-Disconfirmation Theory (EDT) and the Halo effect. Two experimental studies were developed. Study 1 confirmed that the lower gift quality, but not brand unfit, hurt the brand preference of the promoted product. Study 2 further examined its mental process and found two mediators between gift quality and promoted brand preference (i.e., expectancy disconfirmation of gift quality and preference toward the gift promotion mix). It supports the EDT and the Halo effect being applied to explain the mental mechanism.

Population aging and wealth inequality

Thu, 06 Mar 2025 07:30:21 GMT

title: Population aging and wealth inequality abstract: Much effort has been devoted to exploring the consequence of population aging on economic growth. Little attention is paid to its impact on income and wealth inequality. This is critical because inequality matters for the distribution of economic resources and social welfare and is interlinked to economic growth. To fill the void, this paper evaluates whether population aging affects inequality, with special emphasis on wealth inequality and nonlinearity. In a cross-country panel data setting, it finds that top wealth shares follow a U path, i.e., decrease and then increase, in the process of population aging. By contrast, the bottom wealth shares have an inverted-U pattern, i.e., rise and then fall, when a population ages. Similar results are reached for the income share. The data thus suggest that there exists some threshold level of population aging such that any deviations from that level will widen the gap between the wealthy and the poor and increase disparities in wealth and income inequality.
