Abstract With the panel data of 218 prefecture-level cities from 2003 to 2017, this paper empirically tested whether urban environmental legislation realized Porter Hypothesis(PH) in China. After a series of model estimation and robustness tests, the results show that urban environmental legislation increased the number of local green patents, which means that the weak Porter Hypothesis was established. However, the urban environmental legislation did not lead to an increase in green total factor productivity(GTFP). In other words, the strong version of PH did not hold. Further analysis shows that urban environmental legislation led to the decline of GTFP and the increase of green patents in the west of China, but not in the east and central cities. Besides, the legislation did not promote GTFP improvement through green innovation in the short term, which means it did not realize process compensation.

The article examines the impact of various socio-economic and financial indicators on the resilience of Russian regions. For each region, the integral index of resilience is calculated, and its correlation dependence with the selected indicators is revealed. The study confirms the relationship between fiscal resilience and socio-economic resilience of the regions. The analysis of panel data for 75 regions from 2007 to 2016 shows that there are significant differences in the dynamics of indicators in different periods. In particular, the degree of exposure to the negative effects of the crises of 2008—2009 and 2014—2015 in non-resilient regions is higher than in resilient ones.

Financial development could exert various effects on income distribution of a country. By employing Generalized Method of Moment, this paper aims at examining the impacts of credit market depth, one of most used financial development barometers, on income inequality in Vietnam. The empirical findings show that expanding credit market in the country could lead to higher income inequality. We have not found evidence that supports the hypothesis of an inverted U-shaped relation ever introduced by Greenwood and Jovanovich, although this hypothesis may still hold in a sense that Vietnam has not reached to the inflection point to generate such a curve alike.

This study examines whether board diversity affects firm performance. We investigate this study using panel data of a sample of S&P 500 firms during a 12 year period. After controlling for industry, firm size, and other board composition variables, we find that all three board diversity variables of interest – gender, ethnicity, and age have a significant influence on firm performance. While ethnicity and age have a positive influence on firm performance, it was found that gender has a negative influence. Implications for future research are discussed.
