El impacto de la actividad económica sobre el medio ambiente es innegable, causando daños irreparables. Por lo anterior, la inversión en eficiencia en emisiones es una de las soluciones al problema. En la revisión de la literatura se observan efectos dispares entre la inversión asociada a comportamientos ecoeficientes y la rentabilidad económica-financiera de las empresas. El objetivo del estudio fue aportar mayor evidencia empírica sobre estos efectos. Se utilizó un panel de datos balanceado para una muestra de 57 grupos empresariales, líderes europeos cotizados, para los años 2012-2015. Los resultados desvelan una relación positiva entre los niveles de ecoeficiencia y el desempeño económico-financiero. Las recompensas alcanzadas por los grupos empresariales, por la mejora de sus resultados y a través de los mercados financieros, deberían facilitar la aplicación de normativas con el objetivo de reducir el impacto de la actividad empresarial sobre el medioambiente. The impact of economic activity on the environment is undeniable, causing irreparable damage. Thus, investment in emission efficiency is one of the solutions to the problem. A review of the literature shows disparate effects between investment associated with eco-efficient behaviour and the economic-financial profitability of companies. The aim of the study was to provide more empirical evidence on these effects. A balanced data panel was used for a sample of 57 large groups of listed companies for the years 2012-2015. The results reveal a positive relationship between eco-efficiency levels and economic-financial performance. The rewards achieved by companies for improving their results and through financial markets should facilitate the application of regulations with the aim of reducing the impact of business activity on the environment.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the most relevant issues related to the impact of financial restatements in the dynamics of financial markets and identify several research gaps to be investigated in future research. Design/methodology/approach The methodology is based on a systematic review of the literature described by Tranfield et al. (2003). The final sample includes 47 academic papers published from 1996 to 2019. Findings Papers in this domain discuss three main topics: how the market prices the announcement of a financial restatement; how financial restatements affect the announcing firm’s cost of capital and how financial restatements affect firms’ reputation. There are several issues to explore in future research, including whether financial restatements affect the dynamics of financial markets in Europe, whether the market fully and promptly assimilates the information content of a restatement, the role of financial analysts’ information disclosures in this process or how regulators may improve the way they provide investors with timely information about firms’ restating problems. Research limitations/implications There is always some degree of subjectivity in the definition of the keywords, search strings and selection criteria in a systematic review. These are all important aspects, as they delimitate the scope of the study and define the sample of papers to be reviewed. Practical implications The answers to the research questions identified in this paper may provide regulators with information to improve financial accounting and reporting standards and strengthen investors’ confidence in accounting information and the dynamics of financial markets. Originality/value This paper systematically reviews the relevant literature exploring the connection between financial restatements and the dynamics of financial markets. It contributes to the academic community by identifying several research questions that may impact the theory and practice related to accounting quality and capital markets.

The paper analyzes the impact of the federal regulatory burden on poverty dynamics in Russia. The paper provides regional level indices of the federal regulatory burden on the economy in 2008—2018 which take into account sectoral structure of regions’ output and the level of regulatory rigidity of federal regulations governing certain types of economic activity. Estimates of empirical specifications of poverty theoretical model with the inclusion of macroeconomic and institutional factors shows that limiting the scope of the rulemaking activity of government bodies and weakening of new regulations rigidity contributes to a statistically significant reduction in the level of poverty in Russian regions. Cancellation of 10% of accumulated federal level requirements through the “regulatory guillotine” administrative reform may take out of poverty about 1.1—1.4 million people.

We focus on determining the role of shadow economy in the reproductive process, identifying and understanding the specifics of underground economic activity of the Russian economy. Methods. The study rests on general scientific methods (scientific abstraction, unity of historical and logical, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparison and analogy) and special methods of cognition (monetary methods). We employ the systems and integrated approach. The official statistics, regulations, works of leading researchers on shadow economy expansion, resources of reference and legal systems like Garant and ConsultantPlus serve as the study's information base. Results. We present a retrospective rapid analysis of the extent of shadow economic activity in the domestic economy, establishing the relationships with the processes that take place at different stages of the country's development. We also reveal the specifics of shadow economy relations in Russia, factors that play a key role in expansion for a particular period, a shift to another form of shadow economy. The study characterizes the current period of development, assesses the impact of external shocks on shadow economy expansion. Conclusions. The current period is characterized by the digitization of shadow relations, the shift of corruption to the upper echelons of power, the continued outflow of capital abroad, and increased penalties for underground activities.
