タイトル: Corporate environmental behavior toward sustainable development: Motivations, benefits, and challenges of ISO 14001 adoption at Japanese subsidiaries in Thailand著者: Hirata, Reo; Ialnazov, Dimiter S.抄録: Since the Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, ISO 14001 has become an internationally recognized environmental management system that has spread all over the world. The existing literature has examined in detail the motivations, benefits, and challenges of ISO 14001 adoption in developed countries. However, there is a relative lack of studies on the adoption of ISO 14001 by the subsidiaries of multinational corporations (MNCs) in developing countries, and in Thailand in particular. This paper investigates the motivations, benefits, and challenges of ISO 14001 adoption at Japanese subsidiaries in Thailand based on the results of a questionnaire survey of 100 subsidiaries and a semi-structured interview survey of 11 subsidiaries. We find that the main motivat ...

タイトル: Impacts of international trade on the SMT view of the economy著者: Oka, Tosihiro抄録: Shiozawa, Morioka and Taniguchi (2019)'s Microfoundations for Evolutionary Economics (Springer Japan) provided an alternative view (SMT view) of the economy to the orthodox equilibrium view of the economy. According to the SMT view, demand and supply are matched by quantity adjustment under fixed prices, and prices function as a transmitter of cost information downstream as well as a guide for choice and development of techniques. This paper examines the impacts of international trade on the SMT view based on the new theory of international values (NTIV). In a closed economy, prices are uniquely determined even if there are many choices of techniques by the minimal price theorem. With international trade, due to the multiplicity of wages, prices are not uniquely determined. Whether this fact allows demand to participate in the determination of prices is examined, and it is clarified ...

タイトル: Stable carbon and oxygen isotope signatures of mantle-derived calcite in Aitutaki lherzolite xenolith: Implications for organic carbon cycle in the oceanic mantle著者: Akizawa, Norikatsu; Ishimura, Toyoho; Yoshikawa, Masako; Kogiso, Tetsu; Ishikawa, Akira; Mimura, Kazuhide抄録: Carbon isotope data is desired to be increased to promote the understanding of carbon cycle throughout in the Earth. Diamond is a key carbonaceous tool to study deep carbon cycle, but most diamond occurrences are limited from kimberlite pipes in the continental region. Recently, micron-sized diamonds have been discovered from the oceanic region and investigated to understand deep carbon cycle in the oceanic mantle. However, some fundamental cautions have been issued on the oceanic diamonds because some of them could be of artificial origin. Hence, alternative oceanic mantle-derived carbonaceous material is needed to increase oceanic carbon isotope data. We report micron-sized calcite vein in a ...
