There is wide consensus that chief executive officers (CEOs) of US firms earn significantly more than their Canadian counterparts. Using a matched sample, we find that the majority of this difference is due to US CEOs earning 50% more than CEOs of Canadian non-cross-listed firms. We find no such “US premium” for Canadian cross-listed firms,...
Ultramafic and mafic mine tailings are a valuable feedstock for carbon mineralization that should be used to offset carbon emissions generated by the mining industry. Although passive carbonation is occurring at the abandoned Clinton Creek asbestos mine, and the active Diavik diamond and Mount Keith nickel mines, there remains untapped potential fo...
Reports about luxury categories and premium brands growing during recession are multiple. This marketplace behavior, however, is counterintuitive to what traditional economics would predict. The authors propose and test a theory to explain why demand for premium brands may grow despite a contraction in the economy. They define cross-category indulg...
The structural genes determining the edema disease principle were cloned from the total cellular DNA of Escherichia coli strain 412 (O139:K82) isolated from a case of porcine edema disease. An assay for cytotoxicity in Vero cells was used to detect the edema disease principle. A 7.5 kb EcoRI-SalI fragment specifying cytotoxin production was subclon...
This study aims to bridge the research on the internationalization of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the literature on initial public offerings (IPOs). It investigates how IPOs affect SMEs’ foreign investment decisions as they internationalize. We argue that IPOs enable SMEs to engage in a period of accelerated foreign expansion, r...
Purpose
The pitching research template (PRT) is designed to help pitchers identify the core elements that form the framework of any research project. This paper aims to provide a brief commentary on an application of the PRT to pitch an environmental finance research topic with a personal reflection on the pitch exercise discussed.
Design/methodol...
This study models the term structure of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme. The one‐factor geometric Brownian motion model of Abadie and Chamorro is replicated using the data now available and then compared with a two‐factor short‐term/long‐term (STLT) stochastic model. The STLT model has the better statistical fit to the term structure of...
The business case for sustainability can be built upon: (i) cost reduction from efficient resource utilisation, (ii) revenue enhancement, (iii) risk management, and (iv) intangible assets. However, executives often adopt a short‐term perspective owing to executive compensation, investor pressure, and decision‐making criteria tied to fixed financial...
De Beers kimberlite mine operations in South Africa (Venetia and Voorspoed) and Canada (Gahcho Kué, Victor, and Snap Lake) have the potential to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) through weathering of kimberlite mine tailings, which can store carbon in secondary carbonate minerals (mineral carbonation). Carbonation of ca. 4.7 to 24.0 wt% (average = 13...

Carbon mineralisation has the potential to sequester and safely store large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2). However, this technology has not seen the same level of development as geological storage in sedimentary reservoirs. This is primarily because early work on carbonation of minerals focused on high temperature and pressure process routes, whi...
That American CEOs earn significantly more than their counterparts in other countries has been widely documented. The current study reveals that the “US premium” might be more accurately labelled the “NYSE premium”. Focusing on the constituent firms of the S&P/TSX Composite Index (the largest Canadian firms of which almost half are cross-listed on...
A relatively stable environment was vital for the advancement of human civilization over the past 12,000 years (the Holocene). During this time period, humans became experts in exploiting natural resources, allowing for an enormous population expansion as a technologically advanced society. Recognition that our very success is causing widespread da...
Measures of underwriter and top management team prestige have been shown to signal the underlying quality of a company in an initial public offering (IPO). We extend these measures to include the entire coalition (i.e., managers, board, venture capitalists (VCs), underwriters, auditors, and both sets of lawyers) and surprisingly find VCs to have th...
There is wide consensus that CEOs of U.S. firms earn significantly more than their Canadian counterparts. Using a matched sample, we find that the majority of this difference is due to U.S. CEOs earning 50% more than CEOs of Canadian non-cross-listed firms. We find no such "U.S. premium" for Canadian cross-listed firms because the use of options al...
