Legal form and corporate outcomes: Evidence from the societas europaea
Study finds Societas Europaea adoption improves firms’ international positioning, increasing foreign investor ownership and cross-border acquisitions.

Systematic stewardship on the waterbed
Tröger argues corporate governance tools, including stewardship, say-on-climate votes and ESG-linked pay, cannot replace broad climate regulation. Firm-level interventions may trigger “waterbed effects”, shifting emissions rather than reducing them. Carbon pricing or comprehensive emissions caps are presented as more effective.

The unseen costs of blue skies: Pollutant substitution and biodiversity loss
China’s PM₂.₅-targeted regulation reduced particulates but increased O₃ via pollutant substitution driven by incentive distortions. Resulting ozone rises increased mortality and reduced biodiversity, offsetting ~24% of policy benefits. Findings highlight welfare losses from narrow performance metrics and the need for multi-pollutant regulation.

Impact trickles down: A general equilibrium theory of stakeholder exit and engagement
Develops a multi-sided matching model showing stakeholder exit or engagement depends on whether harm scales with productivity. When it does, high-productivity stakeholders exit, triggering reallocation spillovers that reduce harm economy-wide. Firm-level analyses underestimate impact by missing these general equilibrium “trickle-down” effects.
