“…Externalization characterizes the divergence between marginal public environmental and social costs vis‐a‐vis marginal private costs (Baumol & Oates, ; Pigou, ). Companies that are effective in externalizing the social and environmental costs of their products and services can often, in the absence of stricter regulation or social rejection, increase short‐term shareholder value.…”

Investors increasingly commit to consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in their investment decisions. However, the challenges of investors for a holistic integration of ESG factors in their investment decisions are manifold and endanger reaching urgent societal goals. The paper uses metasynthesis to develop a comprehensive understanding of these impediments from a diverse set of papers. Supported by textual analysis, it identifies 161 different topics, which are subsumed within groups and aggregated along a four-pillar framework of market-, firm-, regulatory-, and individual-based impediments. The most prominent impediments are found in the areas of a perceived lack of a business case, the quality of data, the absence of clear standards and definitions, and various behavioral biases.Moreover, a considerable research-practice gap in framing the relevant research questions that contribute to the slow-moving integration process is discovered.Focusing additionally on potential blind spots on the investor and research sides will prove to be important for swifter ESG integration.

“…The tax, an individual should bear, must be equal to the cost of benefit receives that is, cost-benefit postulation. Yet a complimentary theory, "Ability to pay" theory by Pigou (1920) suggests that every citizen should pay taxes according to his ability to pay, to meet the cost of Government expenditure. The Ability to pay theory of taxation is synonymous with the principle of equity or justice in taxation.…”

As most developing countries strive to achieve economic growth and development through taxation, they face numerous economic challenges. The debate on the effectiveness of taxes as a tool for promoting growth and development remains inconclusive, as several studies have indicated mixed impacts of tax on economic growth. Against this background, the study investigated the impact of taxation on economic growth in Africa from 2004 to 2013. The study carried out various preliminary tests including descriptive statistics, and stationary tests using Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test, Levin et al. test, Im, Pesaran and Shin W-stat tests. The appropriate fixed and random effect test was employed to determine the fitness of the model using the Hausman test. The study conducted the Hausman-Test to determine the appropriate estimator between Fixed and Random Effect. To confirm the robustness and validity of regression model, some post estimation tests are conducted which were omitted Variable Test, and Heteroscedasticity test. Findings indicated that tax revenue is positively related to GDP and promotes Economic Growth in Africa. It was significant at 5% level. The study concluded that tax revenue has a significant positive relationship with Gross Domestic Product. Therefore, high and weak levels of taxation are favorable to economic growth as upheld by the economic effect of Ibn Khaldun's theory on taxation, which approves the positive impact that lower tax rate have on work, output and economic performance. However, in the midst of harsh economic conditions such as crashing oil prices, rising exchange rates, drop in Naira value, the governments should be ready to develop a comprehensive tax structure or model that will grow, nurture and sustain its tax economic base so as to drive economic performance.

“…Robinson (1933) was the first to apply Pigou's (1932) concept of third‐degree price discrimination at a commodity market to the labour market. She argued that if groups of workers can be distinguished that differ in their labour supply elasticities at the firm level the firm will profit from paying different wages to these groups.…”

The Gender Pay Gap Under Duopsony: Joan Robinson Meets Harold Hotelling

This paper presents an alternative explanation of the gender pay gap resting on a simple Hotelling‐style duopsony model of the labour market. Since there are only two employers, equally productive women and men have to commute and face travel cost to do so. We assume that some women have higher travel cost, e.g., due to more domestic responsibilities. Employers exploit that women on average are less inclined to commute and offer lower wages to all women. Since women's firm‐level labour supply is for this reason less wage‐elastic, this model is in line with Robinson's explanation of wage discrimination.
