    with S. X. Zeng, H. T. Yin, and C. M. Tam
    Journal of Business Ethics 109 (3): 309-321. 2012.
    Based on the institutional theory, this article attempts to examine two consecutive questions regarding the impact of various factors on corporate decision in environmental information disclosure (EID): (1) whether or not to disclose; and (2) the level of disclosure. The relevance of these factors is empirically tested using data collected from publicly listed manufacturing companies from 2006 to 2008 in China. Some interesting findings appear. We find that firms that are state-owned, those that…Read more

    with S. X. Zeng and C. M. Tam
    Journal of Business Ethics 107 (2): 227-237. 2012.
    The stock market’s reaction to information disclosure of environmental violation events (EVEs) is investigated multi-dimensionally for Chinese listed companies, including variables such as pollution types, information disclosure sources, information disclosure levels, modernization levels of the region where the company locates, ultimate ownership of the company, and ownership held by the largest shareholder. Using the method of event study, daily abnormal return (AR) and accumulative abnormal r…Read more

    Central inhibitory dysfunctions: Mechanisms and clinical implications
    with Z. Wiesenfeld-Hallin, H. Aldskogius, G. Grant, J.-X. Hao, and T. Hökfelt
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences 20 (3): 420-425. 1997.
    Injury to the central or peripheral nervous system is often associated with persistent pain. After ischemic injury to the spinal cord, rats develop severe mechanical allodynia-like symptoms, expressed as a pain-like response to innocuous stimuli. In its short-lasting phase the allodynia can be relieved with the [gamma]-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-B receptor agonist baclofen, which also reverses the hyperexcitability of dorsal horn interneurons to mechanical stimuli. Furthermore, there is a reductio…Read more

    Whether Top Executives' Turnover Influences Environmental Responsibility: From the Perspective of Environmental Information Disclosure (review)
    with X. H. Meng, S. X. Zeng, and C. M. Tam
    Journal of Business Ethics 114 (2): 341-353. 2013.
    We have empirically examined the relationship between top executives’ turnover and the corporate environmental responsibility by identifying the influence of ten specific turnover reasons resulting in the chairman’s departure and two important types of chairman’s succession. Using a sample of 782 manufacturing listed companies across 3 years in China, we find that the corporate environmental responsibility is negatively associated with the involuntary and negative turnover (i.e., dismissal, heal…Read more
