The future of global corporate citizenship: towards a new theory of the firm as a political actor
No full textIn this chapter, Guido Palazzo and Andreas Georg Scherer point to future research directions on corporate citizenship. They outline topics that emerge from the discussions in the Handbook of Research on Global Corporate Citizenship and address some the open questions that are still to be solved. For example, the meaning and the limits of responsibility for the corporation, the questions evolving around a new concept of corporate politics, or the self-regulation of the corporation as seen in the debate on 'governance without government' are considered. Further, the future debate on corporate citizenship needs to address the role of leadership in this context, as well as the question of the dark sides of responsibility. In this chapter, the authors summarize new challenges and point to interesting directions for future research on global corporate citizenship
Corporate citizenship in a globalized world: introduction to the Handbook of Research on Global Corporate Citizenship
No full textThe Handbook of Research on Global Corporate Citizenship identifies and fosters key interdisciplinary research on corporate citizenship and provides a framework for academic debate on corporate responsibility in a global society. Leading academics have been invited from various disciplines such as management studies, economics, sociology, legal studies and political science to evaluate the concept of corporate citizenship and to analyze the role of private business in global governance and the production of global public goods. In this chapter, Andreas Georg Scherer and Guido Palazzo briefly discuss the role of the business firm in a globalized world and point to corporate citizenship as a global challenge. Additionally, the chapter provides an overview of the content of the Handbook of Research on Global Corporate Citizenship and offers a short summary of each chapter

No full textIppoliti R, Ramello GB, Scherer FM. Partnership and innovation in the pharmaceutical industry: the case of clinical research. ECONOMICS OF INNOVATION AND NEW TECHNOLOGY. 2021;30(3):317-334.This study attempts to test the hypothesis that collaborative research projects boost R&D performance. More specifically, through an empirical investigation, it ascertains which organizational solution best enhances scientific impact, focusing on a sample of phase II and III clinical trials and using citations in scientific journals as a measure. The main findings confirm that there are substantial differences in the ability of distinct research organizations to foster innovation, with the collaborative solution more likely to be productive. All in all, this result supports the literature asserting that collaborative networks play a productive role in knowledge domains. It may also offer an explanation for the puzzle characterizing the pharmaceutical industry, where extensive consolidation has coincided with a fall in R&D productivity
More investment, less returns? : changing returns to education in Italy across three decades
No full textEducational expansion has often been discussed in terms of possibly declining returns to education. Declining returns would not only menace individual investment strategies but also put under pressure the merit based legitimisation of existing social inequalities. In recent years also Italy witnessed a strong increase in education participation beyond compulsory schooling – though this country still lags behind most of Europe with regard to access to higher education. At the same time, the occupational structure did not show any noteworthy upward shift. The theoretical debate provides arguments supporting both expectations about declining as well as increasing return to education. In this paper we empirically investigate these changes over time.
We describe the association between educational attainment and the returns to education in terms of both employment and occupational position based on national labour force survey data covering the period from 1985 to 2010, separately for men and women aged 30-39. Our results show a clear decline of the returns to education, in particular concerning the occupational position accessed by the upper secondary educated. Also the university educated, however, have seen on average their occupational condition become worse, especially in the last years
Copulas, credit portfolios, and the broken heart syndrome
Full text linkDavid X. Li is professor of Finance at the Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance (SAIF). For more than two decades, he worked at leading nancial institutions in the areas of product de- velopment, risk management, asset/liability management, and investment analytics. He was the chief risk o cer for China International Capital Corporation (CICC) Ltd, head of credit derivative research and analytics at Citigroup and Barclays Capital, and head of modeling for AIG Invest- ments.

David is currently an Associate Editor for the North American Actuarial Journal, an adjunct professor at the University of Waterloo, a senior research fellow at Global Risk Institute in Toronto, and a senior advisor to the Risk Management Institute at the National University of Singapore. David was one of the pioneers in credit derivatives. His seminal work of using copula functions for credit port- folio modeling has been widely cited by academic research, broadly used by practitioners for credit portfolio trading, risk management and rating, and well covered by the media (Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Nikkei, and CBC News)
Mating Market and Dynamics of Union Formation
Full text linkThe paper investigates the relationship between structural partner market constraints and the timing and educational sorting of unions in Germany (1985–2018). We integrate the literature on the effect of the reversed gender gap in education on educational assortative mating, with a focus on mating dynamics and the measurement of the partner market over the life course. We concentrate on two particular educational groups, low-educated men and highly educated women, those with worsening mating prospects and more subject to experience hypogamous unions. Our results show that the local education-specific mating squeeze influences union formation, its timing, and educational sorting. Indeed, for the two groups, the increasing supply of highly educated women in the partner market increases the likelihood of remaining single or establishing an hypogamous union, where she is higher educated than he. In line with search theory, we find the effects of the mating squeeze to become particularly visible after people turn 30 years of age. This is true for the risk of remaining single and forming an hypogamous union. We underline the necessity to study assortative mating and union formation from a dynamic perspective, taking into account changing structural conditions during the partner search process

Maternal employment : enabling factors in context
Full text linkMaternal employment is still below the overall EU recommended level of 60% in many European
countries. Understanding the individual, household and contextual circumstances under which
mothers of children of different ages are likely to be employed is crucial to develop strategies
capable of increasing maternal employment. This article takes a comparative approach to
investigating the characteristics associated with maternal employment in the presence of children
aged 0–2, 3–5, 6–9 and 10–12 years. We model the probability of being employed full-time, parttime
or being a homemaker using EU-SILC data (2004 to 2007) from Germany, Italy, Norway
and the United Kingdom – four countries belonging to different gender and welfare regimes. The
results indicate that individual and household characteristics are more relevant in determining
mothers’ employment in countries where the state is less supportive towards maternal
employment: Italy and to a lesser extent Germany and the UK – for the period observed
