In the last decade, the public concern over environmental problems has led to the emergence of environmental regulations in firms’ information disclosure on environmental practice, especially in some developing countries such as China. Based on...
Infeasible solutions or negative expected values of future climate information are undesired problems if climate policies are adopted under Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) to reach uncertain temperature targets. Cost-Risk Analysis (CRA) was develop...
In this study, we used a combined stochastic process and value-at-risk (VaR) method to examine an electronic commerce expansion decision. By modeling uncertain benefits as a stochastic process, maximum losses of alternative decisions were quantified...
As global concerns over climate change intensify, carbon information disclosure has emerged as a critical factor influencing firm value. However, the relationship between carbon information disclosure and firm value remains inconclusive in the existi...
Taiwan (China) is a global leader in the electronic information industry. However, previous studies have paid limited attention to the impact of international trade policies on Taiwan’s electronic information sector. This study aims to examine...
