Focusing on knowledge-intensive and innovative entrepreneurial firms and multinationals, this book explains how Chinese firms are increasingly developing innovative capabilities and engaging in globalization. As Chinese firms become world-leaders in their markets and household names internationally, this timely book examines innovation ecosystems and their affect on Chinese firms to act on innovative opportunities. Cutting-edge chapters advance debates in entrepreneurship, innovation management, economic geography and international business, analysing the co-evolution between the innovation ecosystem and innovation capabilities of Chinese firms. Drawing attention to the interdependencies of globalization, mergers and acquisitions and innovation, leading scholars in Chinese economics and entrepreneurship unpack the role of market capabilities in the development process of innovation and globalization to mark the trajectories of global Chinese firms. Addressing key themes in Chinese entrepreneurship, this book is crucial reading for scholars and researchers of business and economics, particularly those focusing on innovative capabilities. Its practical insights and empirical findings will also be beneficial to practitioners and policymakers
We studied how companies' carbon disclosures affect the cost of capital under the Chinese government's introduction of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) regulation. We also tested how much the effect varied between state-owned and private enterprises, and between polluting and non-polluting industries. Since, at its early stage, the market may perceive signals and implementations of environmental regulation as a cost burden, the effect of environmental disclosure, which is traditionally known to reduce the cost of capital, may be different. Using a comprehensive index through content analysis and targeting companies in China's pilot ETS regions between 2011 and 2016, our study showed the following test results. First, for the companies in regions where the ETS regulation was introduced, while carbon disclosure was below a certain level, disclosure raised the cost of capital, and after carbon disclosure was sufficiently high, disclosure decreased the cost of capital. Second, this inverted-U-shaped relationship appeared in non-state-owned enterprises only, and state-owned enterprises showed a traditional linear relationship that disclosure lowers the cost of capital. Third, this non-linear relationship was statistically significant only in the non-heavy pollution industries. This study contributes to the literature in that there are limited studies on the market effects of China's early introduction of the ETS regulation.

This study investigated how changes in land surface temperature (LST) during 2004 and 2014 were attributable to zoning-based land use type in Seoul in association with the building coverage ratio (BCR), floor area ratio (FAR), and a normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). We retrieved LSTs and NDVI data from satellite images, Landsat TM 5 for 2004 and Landsat 8 TIRS for 2014 and combined them with parcel-based land use information, which contained data on BCR, FAR, and zoning-based land use type. The descriptive analysis results showed a rise in LST for the low- and medium-density residential land, whereas significant LST decreases were found in high-density residential, semi-residential, and commercial areas over the time period. Statistical results further supported these findings, yielding statistically significant negative coefficient values for all interaction variables between higher-density land use types and a year-based dummy variable. The findings appear to be related to residential densification involving the provision of more high-rise apartment complexes and government efforts to secure more parks and green spaces through urban redevelopment and renewal projects.

The key question regarding the strengths and weaknesses of China's capabilities for low carbon innovation to effect dramatic change; and in the context of the unprecedented time pressure of doing so within a single generation. Just as importantly, what can be done to expedite this change, capitalize upon existing strengths and transform or minimize weaknesses? This ebook begins to explore these crucial questions across a number of dimensions. It is not our intention to try to synthesize these findings here into what can only be a prematurely, and so falsely, coherent body of knowledge about lo

Abstract
Police violence is reportedly common among those diagnosed with mental disorders characterized by the presence of psychotic symptoms or pronounced emotional lability. Despite the perception that people with mental illness are disproportionately mistreated by the police, there is relatively little empirical research on this topic. A cross-sectional general population survey was administered online in 2017 to 1,000 adults in two eastern U.S. cities to examine the relationship between police violence exposure, mental disorders, and crime involvement. Results from hierarchical logistic regression and mediation analyses revealed that a range of mental health conditions are broadly associated with elevated risk for police violence exposure. Individuals with severe mental illness are more likely than the general population to be physically victimized by police, regardless of their involvement in criminal activities. Most of the excess risk of police violence exposure related to common psychiatric diagnoses was explained by confounding factors including crime involvement. However, crime involvement may necessitate more police contact, but does not necessarily justify victimization or excessive force (particularly sexual and psychological violence). Findings support the need for adequate training for police officers on how to safely interact with people with mental health conditions, particularly severe mental illness.
