Measuring and disclosing corporate valuations of impacts and dependencies on nature
Calibrating environmental impacts and dependencies in financial metrics, known as natural capital accounting (natural capital valuations; assessments), is critical for transparency and effective decision-making. Understanding the financial impact of a firm’s effects and dependencies on nature not only surfaces new priorities and insights, but also informs and encourages companies’ efforts to protect natural resources. Given that transparency and accountability go hand-in-hand, natural capital valuations help companies mitigate impacts and dependencies on the natural world.

Emphasizing “me” or “we”: Training framing and self-concept in network-based leadership development
It has long been understood that a key ingredient in career success is effectively managing workplace relationships. This study explores how the motivational framing of a network training program may positively or (inadvertently) adversely impact participants' discomfort with strategic networking and motivation to network. Examined is the impact of a “me-focused” framing (i.e., on the personal career benefits that individuals can accrue through strategic networking) and a “we-focused” framing (i.e., on the benefits to the team/organization of individuals' strategic networking) compared to a control group in two field-based quasi-experiments.

Ethics of U.S. government policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic: A utilitarianism perspective
This research analyzes the ethical choices of initial responses of the COVID-19 pandemic by reviewing early U.S. government responses and the impact of culture, federalism, and justice. It is concluded that utilitarian analyses of balancing infection rates and economic impacts must be supplemented with Kantian principles of not treating people as means to an end, balancing the protection of individual freedoms with the good of society, and protecting vulnerable groups. As governments prepare for future crises, ethical considerations should be built into those plans as guardrails to guide decision-makers.

The impact of adopting IFRS on earnings quality: Evidence from Mexico
This research investigates the impact of changing from local GAAP to IFRS in 2012 on earnings management by public firms in Mexico. Given the institutional environment and managerial incentives in Mexico, there is not a clear theoretical prediction for the impact of Mexico's adoption of IFRS on earnings management. Thus, it is an empirical question whether a change in accounting standards had any effect on earnings management.

Blockchain use-case in ballistics and crime gun tracing and intelligence: Towards overcoming gun violence
In the U.S. and around the world, gun violence has become a long-standing public safety concern and a security threat, due to violent gun-related crimes, injuries, and fatalities. Although legislators and lawmakers have attempted to mitigate its threats through legislation, research on gun violence confirms the need for a comprehensive approach to gun violence prevention. This research entails addressing the problem in as many ways as possible, such as through legislation, new technological advancements, re-engineering supply, and administrative protocols, among others. The research focuses on the technological, supply, and administrative aspects, in which it is proposed a manner of managing gun-related data efficiently from the point of manufacture/sale, as well as at points of transfers between secondary sellers for the improvement of criminal investigation processes.
