Localizing Sustainable Development Goals: Nonprofit Density and City Sustainability

Family Firms and Environmental Performance: A Meta-Analytic Review

“…Their prioritization of family goals, long-term orientation, market self-identity, and higher risk aversion compared to non-family firms have led scholars to explore the behavior of FFs in relation to environmental issues. In the last decades, many scholars have emphasized that the adoption of environmental operational practices may lead to a reduction in costs or an increase in revenues (Ambec & Lanoie, 2008;Rousseau, Berrone, & Gelabert, 2019). Due to these benefits, pursuing a competitive advantage is considered one of the main drivers of organizational commitment toward improving EP (Figge & Hahn, 2012;Testa & Iraldo, 2010).…”

Dealing with Endogeneity to Understand the Societal Impact of the Third Sector: Why Should We Care and What Can We Do about It?

“…To accomplish a relatively comprehensive grasp of how scholars across fields have studied the impact of the third sector using panel data, we implemented the following process for our literature search and gathering. First, as it is challenging to nail down those specific keywords in a broad search of empirical studies on the third sector's impact on society (think about what impacts may mean in different policy subfields), we used our professional knowledge in the field to pick four latest articles that make a causal claim of the third sector's impact on society as our baseline references: Shareky et al (2017) from Sociology, Rousseau et al (2019) from general management studies, Alonso and Andrews (2020) from public administration, and Crubough (2020) from third sector studies. By starting our preliminary analysis from the four articles, we were able to build our knowledge on how each discipline has discussed the impact of the third sector and the issue of endogeneity.…”

“…For example, in sociology, Sharkey et al (2017) has examined the impact of local nonprofits on violent crime rates in society. In environmental management, Rousseau et al (2019) examined how the density of local environmental nonprofit organizations may impact a city's environmental performance.…”

“…local average treatment effect (LATE), or causal effect of x on y(Angrist & Pischke, 2009). Particularly,Rousseau et al (2019) used damage from natural disasters, the level of religious pluralism, and city carrying capacity as instruments for the density of environmental NGOs as these factors are closely related to the creations of environmental NGOs but do not have a direct linkage to city's environmental performance Sharkey et al, (2017). used the density of arts, medical research, and environmental protection NPOs as instruments for the density of community development NPOs.…”

Careers in cities: An interdisciplinary space for advancing the contextual turn in career studies

“…Jointly, they determine the use of limited resources, delineate occupational divisions and boundaries of social class along geographical lines, and crystallize systems of social and economic separation that structure individual careers. Lastly, change emerges for careers from cities being strategic actors in a dynamic global economy, where they compete for economic success and cultural prestige (Kotler et al, 1993), while also being hotspots where diverse actors explore issues of livability, economic and social inequalities, migration, and sustainability (Cook and Swyngedouw, 2012; Rousseau et al, 2019; Sassen, 2012). These themes prompt our first aim of providing scholars with a map for orienting studies of careers in cities in relation to their multilayered and changing intersections .…”
