This study explores innovative spillover strategies between global renewable energy, Dow Jones, and Islamic stock indices during recent global crises. We applied the TVP-VAR approach and found that the total connectedness index for spillover effects between Islamic and global renewable energy stock indices was more than 50 percent across all subsamples. During the COVID-19 crisis, FTSE-Sharia and the MSCI Islamic world were significant risk spillover receivers. The Dow Jones Islamic developed market, Dow Jones Industrial, and renewable energy ICLN are significant spillover receivers during the Ukrainian war. Conversely, the renewable energy SMOG, NEX, and Dow Jones Islamic emerging markets are significant risk spillover transmitters in COVID-19. We suggest that investors choose renewable energy, such as SMOG and NEX, as important volatility transmitters to ensure portfolio diversification and protect themselves against crises. Furthermore, by advancing their allocations to indices such as the Global Dow Jones Islamic Market Index and MSCI Islamic World, which act as significant volatility spillover receivers during global shocks, Islamic investors can improve the stability of their portfolios. Our study provides an innovative and empirical analysis for investors and speculators to make informed decisions in these markets during times of shocks.

The role of CEO-holding MBA
Does protection of trade secrets matter for firms’ access to external capital?

International Review of Economics & Finance

We investigate how protection of trade secrets affects firms’ access to external finance. In our paper, we use the US state court recognition of the Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine (hereafter IDD) to gain exogenous variation in employee mobility, which protects trade secrets and prevents knowledge spillover to competitors. We also employ a sample of all non-financial constituents of the S&P 500 between 2005 and 2020. Overall, we find that firms in states adopting the IDD reduce their use of short-term debt, whereas they increase their use of long-term debt compared to those in states rejecting the IDD. For short-term finance, our extended analyses demonstrate that firm age negatively moderates the relationship between adoption of IDD and access to external finance, while CEO age, CEO gender, and CEO-holding MBA positively moderate this relationship. For long-term finance, our extended analyses demonstrate that firm age, CEO gender, and CEO-holding MBA negatively moderate the relationship between adoption of IDD and access to external finance, whereas CEO age, as a moderator, does not affect this relationship. The findings of this paper have significant implications for corporate boards, given that state courts' adoption of IDD is a viable determinant of the components of external funding.

European Financial Management

This paper investigates the dynamic transition of the Chinese stock market towards a just and sustainable future by examining the tail risk connectedness and frequency‐quantile dependence between a series of sustainability indices and Chinese stock market sectors. Employing the novel TVP‐VAR‐CAViaR connectedness method and the wavelet quantile correlation (WQC) method, we capture the evolving relationship between sustainability factors and market performance. Considering the significant, far‐reaching, and lasting effects of such uncertainties on the financial markets, our analysis provides essential guidance for investors and policymakers alike in navigating decisions and crafting regulations.

This paper aims to study the dynamic risk connection between the Climate Policy Uncertainty Index (CPU) of the United States and the grain commodity market. Our findings denote that (a) quantile spillover is stronger at extreme than median levels, underscoring the value of systematic risk spillovers in extreme market conditions. (b) Wavelet coherence analysis proposes that the structure of the CPU connection with the grain commodity market is heterogeneous at time–frequency scales. (c) Under conditions of market stability, CPU's capability to predict risks in the most segmented grain commodity markets was not as pronounced as in extreme market scenarios. (d) The spillovers between CPU and major grain commodities under diverse quantile states were significantly influenced by climate change. Results from this paper have practical implications for investors managing climate‐related risk exposures and will also assist policymakers in developing countries to develop a sensible policy package.

This article proposed a novel hybrid framework, the WTC‐DCA‐Informer, for forecasting volatility in the Australian stock market. The findings indicated that (1) through a comprehensive comparison with various machine learning and deep learning models, the proposed WTC‐DCA‐Informer framework significantly outperformed traditional methods in terms of predictive performance. (2) Across different training set proportions, the WTC‐DCA‐Informer model demonstrated exceptional forecasting capabilities, achieving a coefficient of determination ( R ² ) as high as 0.9216 and a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) as low as 13.6947%. (3) The model exhibited strong adaptability and robustness in responding to significant market fluctuations and structural changes before and after the outbreak of COVID‐19. This study offers a new perspective and tool for forecasting financial market volatility, with substantial theoretical and practical implications for enhancing the efficiency and stability of financial markets.

... The theoretical study on the topic of "greenwashing" in China started late, but the behavior of "greenwashing" accompanies the whole process of the emergence of climate and environmental problems, which not only impacts the construction of business ethics (Zhang et al.,2025; [16,17] , but also relates to the attainment of the goal of "dual-carbon" and the implementation of sustainable development strategy [18] .

... Furthermore, Ref. [54], analyzing China's green finance pilot zones, shows that green finance reforms substantially contribute to the low-carbon energy transition by facilitating project financing in clean energy sectors. Complementary to these findings, Ref.
