Global structure of the land by analytical regions: concentration and fragmentation
In this text we will focus on what can be said with official and comparable sources about the structure of land ownership. We will analyze the geographical patterns and other relevant qualitative criteria between countries.
Systemic Tensions Around Water Territorialities for UNDROP Communities
The analysis of water resource access and management policies reveals a structural paradox: an increasingly regulatory, which contrasts with the reality of implementation
CSR Persistence and Performance Aspirations: Moderating Effect of Uncertainty and Family Ownership
Pilar Rivera-Franco, Ignacio Requejo, Isabel Suarez-Gonzalez. This study analyzes the factors that contribute to corporate social responsibility (CSR) persistence, focusing on the impact of performance aspirations, uncertainty, and family ownership. CSR is a strategic decision to achieve social and environmental goals, and adopting persistent behavior in CSR should encourage more substantive engagement. In accordance with the behavioral theory of the firm and the strategic persistence approach, firms that exceed their past performance should demonstrate heightened persistence in their past strategies. Therefore, we anticipate that companies performing above their aspirational level will exhibit higher CSR persistence. External factors such as uncertainty at a macro level may diminish CSR persistence due to a preference to pursue short-term profitable goals. Furthermore, we expect that the relationship between performance aspirations and CSR persistence will be boosted in family firms due to their unique goals. Our study is based on a sample of 512 listed European firms, from 2008-2020, and a panel data method. We find that performance above aspirations positively affects CSR persistence. Results also support that this effect weakens during periods of uncertainty, and we observe differences between family and non-family firms when it comes to the impact of performance aspirations on CSR persistence.
Internal versus external CSR practices: the trade‐off in family firms
Pilar Rivera-Franco, Ignacio Requejo, Isabel Suárez-González. Firms face the challenge of choosing between corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices aimed at different stakeholders (internal and external). Striking the right balance is particularly complex in family firms (FFs), in which CSR practices become a vehicle to express their identity. Our goal is to study FFs' trade-off between internal and external CSR practices compared to non-FFs by drawing on the FF identity and socioemotional wealth perspectives. We analyze a panel of 423 European listed companies (3,918 observations) from 2008 to 2017. Our results show that FFs outperform non-FFs in overall CSR, with FFs' stronger efforts in internal CSR driving their better CSR performance. We also find that FFs' prioritization of internal CSR is more pronounced when CSR credibility at a country level is lower. However, a greater exposure of the family name reverses FFs' preferences and leads them to prioritize external stakeholders' interests.
