In this paper we show experimentally that conditional cooperation, a phenomenon described in the private provision of public goods, is also present in group contests, where participants’ contributions to their group performance partially determines if they overcome a rival group. This environment allows us to identify new determinants of conditional cooperation. We observe conditional cooperation in successful groups and in groups where members contribute more than rivals (even if they lose), but it vanishes in those groups that lose the contest due to low group performance. A random-effect linear panel regression analysis with an extensive set of controls confirms the findings.

This paper explores the moderating effect of corruption control in strengthening the influence of firm attributes on corporate sustainability disclosure compliance in Nigeria. The study focuses on the existing discussion on mandatory disclosure compliance with corporate governance code. The extent of disclosure compliance is measured using a total unweighted disclosure index, developed from a panel dataset of 118 companies listed in the Nigerian capital market. The companies were selected using a proportionate stratified sampling technique. The dataset for the period of 2011 to 2017 were first analyzed by static panel regression analysis using pooled Ordinary Least Square (OLS), Fixed Effect (FE), and Random Effect (RE) models. The regression models were subjected to further robustness checks under dynamic GMM panel regression analysis, to test for possible endogeneity. The findings revealed significant moderating effect of corruption control, evidenced from the interaction of corruption control with selected firm attributes, namely; industry type, leverage and taxation. The research contributes to the existing literature, as it establishes the importance of control of corruption as an additional factor of corporate sustainability disclosure compliance within the context of Nigeria.

We empirically test whether B Corp certification affects the short- and medium-term growth rates of sustainable enterprises. These businesses are growing in popularity and prevalence but, due to their hybrid nature, often suffer from external credibility issues and competing internal logics. Because of the rigorous and time-involving audit procedure, B Corp certification potentially sends a credible signal about the sustainable nature of the enterprise to its stakeholders. In addition, the B Corp label could help to straighten out internal tensions and align the company towards its dual purpose. Hence, B Corp certification could contribute to company success. We observe 129 firms that were certified between 2013 and 2018 over a period between six years prior and five years post-certification. Using propensity score matching, we identify 129 non-certified matching companies. On this sample, we conduct a difference-in-differences panel regression analysis to investigate the effect of certification. Our dataset allows us to study how the effects of B Corp certification evolve over time, which was previously untested. Our study documents a positive effect of B Corp certification on turnover growth and also that this effect increases with the time since certification, implying that certification requires some time for its full effect to become apparent.

AbstractI develop a model of inequality aversion and public goods that allows the marginal rate of substitution to be variable. As a theoretical foundation, utility function of the standard public goods model is nested in the Fehr-Schmidt model. An individual’s contribution function for a public good is derived by solving the problem of kinky preference and examining both interior and corner solutions. Results show that the derived contribution function is not monotonic with respect to the other individual’s provision. Thus, the model can be used to explain empirical evidence for the effect of social comparison on public-good provision.
