Abstract We suggest a novel perspective on the relationship between stringency of environmental policies and foreign direct investment (FDI). develop political economy model with imperfect product market competition where local firms jointly lobby government for favorable pollution tax. FDI is found to affect policy, effect conditional government's degree corruptibility. If corruptibility sufficiently high (low), leads less (more) stringent thus contributes (mitigates) creation haven. Our...
This paper assesses the strength of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) which posits an inverted-U relationship between per capital income and pollution. Specifically, answers are sought to following related questions: (1) How robust is EKC relationship?; (2) To what extent can be explained by changing trade patterns as opposed growth-induced pollution abatement? With regard question (1), alleged weaknesses with assessed new EKCs estimated using more appropriate econometric techniques. Turning...
Abstract China's recent rapid growth has been matched by large increases in exports and foreign direct investment (FDI), but considerable regional disparities FDI flows exist. We use detailed province level data for China to examine the determinants of intra-country flows. Specifically, we investigate whether is attracted those regions that exhibit good governance are most strongly engaged fight against corruption, constructing proxies provincial government efficiency anti-corruption effort....
There is an extensive literature that examines the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and productivity competitiveness of domestic firms. Using estimation techniques from spillover literature, this paper tests for presence environmental spillovers On basis foreign‐owned firms may encourage in their extended supply chain to improve environment‐related management practices, evidence existence should be easier find than where naturally attempt minimise intra‐industry knowledge...
Drawing on Marxist political economy, this article examines wage theft in hospitality work. Through a detailed, qualitative study of workers’ experiences London hotels, novel typology is developed that reveals how managers extract additional unpaid labour time through theft. The argues both the legal definition and existing academic formulations fail to encompass full range ways employers time. They also overlook systemic dimension under capitalism. contributes new insights into sociological...
Abstract Production in knowledge and data‐intensive industries is powered by work that can, theory, be done from anywhere, via cloudwork platforms. Cloudwork platforms govern data value chains distinct ways to concentrate power extract at the global scale. We argue unpaid labour a systemic mechanism of accumulation these digital networks. In this paper we demonstrate how it tied platform business models facilitated elements governance including monopsony power, high degree spatial...
The research of Jahoda et al. in the Austrian town Marienthal 1930s had a formative influence over future unemployment social sciences. This article contends that was predicated on tacit set beliefs about gendered relationship between `human nature' and `work'. One consequence this moral discourse human nature as fundamentally working or labouring firmly anchored trajectory subsequent into unemployment. presents detailed critique underpins study its theoretical elaboration staged theories...
In this paper, we use the 1995 Kobe earthquake as a natural experiment to examine impact of large exogenous physical shock on local economic activity. For first time are able control for spatial heterogeneity in damage caused by disaster using geo-coded plant location and unique building-level surveys. survival analysis manufacturing plants, our results show that significantly affects plant's likelihood failure effect persists up 7 years. Further demonstrates plants most likely exit result...
Abstract Background Diphtheria, commonly resulting in severe respiratory or cutaneous disease, is caused by toxin-producing (i.e., toxigenic) strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Non-toxigenic C. diphtheriae also cause which typically less but can be invasive. bacteria acquire and express the toxin (tox) gene, providing a mechanism for diphtheria re-introduction to United States (US). We examine epidemiology, toxigenicity, trends isolates submitted CDC from January 2016 September 2023....
Calls for "ethical Artificial Intelligence" are legion, with a recent proliferation of government and industry guidelines attempting to establish ethical rules boundaries this new technology. With few exceptions, they interpret Intelligence (AI) ethics narrowly in liberal political framework privacy concerns, transparency, governance non-discrimination. One the main hurdles establishing AI" remains how operationalize high-level principles such that translate technology design, development...
The 1980s witnessed an intense political and ideological struggle over unemployment in Britain, which often involved sociologists defending the unemployed against real or perceived governmental attacks on their work ethic. Notwithstanding valid criticisms of practical efficacy supply-side policies, this rebuttal governmental`victim-blaming'tactics restricted a deeper critique meaning purpose work, perversely helped to reproduce moral discourse symbiosis with Thatcher government. Subsequent...
This paper investigates the relationship between firm heterogeneity and a firm's decision to export, using annual survey of Thai manufacturing firms from 2001 2004. A significant contribution this is that we are, for first time, able break down FDI by country origin observe whether behaviour MNEs differs region origin. We find sunk entry costs characteristics are important factors in explaining export. Another determinant ownership structure firm, with foreign-owned having higher probability...
Abstract Digital labour platforms have been widely promoted as a solution to the unemployment crisis sparked by COVID‐19 pandemic. However, pandemic has also highlighted vulnerability of gig workers when cast essential workers. This article examines policies 191 in 43 countries understand how shifted conventions economy.

Abstract The so‐called age of AI, industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution, etc. all attempt to conjure into existence a new technological paradigm. Should we believe hype? This paper draws on neo‐Schumpeterian and régulation theory widen scope this debate examine techno‐economic institutional discontinuities. In exploring these discontinuities, argues, first, that growth regimes are not necessarily tenable as indicators paradigms, and, second, there (infra)structural discontinuities...
