The effects of mandatory ESG disclosure on price discovery efficiency around the world
We examine the effect of mandatory environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosure on firms' price discovery efficiency around the world. Using data from 45 countries between 2000 and 2020 and a difference-in-differences method, we find that mandatory ESG disclosure increases firm-level stock price non-synchronicity and timeliness of price discovery, suggesting more firm-specific information is incorporated into stock prices in a more timely manner. Mandatory ESG disclosure improves price discovery efficiency more in countries with strong demands for ESG information and in firms with poor disclosure incentives. Mandatory ESG disclosure also leads to other real market changes, such as lower stock returns, greater changes in institutional ownership and higher firm valuation.</p

Societal trust and information timeliness: international evidence
We investigate the association between societal trust and the timeliness with which value-relevant information is incorporated into stock price with a large sample of observations collected from 38 countries between 2000 and 2019. We find that in high trust countries, positive (negative) value-relevant information is impounded into stock price in a less (more) timely manner, mitigating imbalanced optimistically biased information timeliness (IOBIT). Results from robustness checks lend strong support to our inferences. Further analyses suggest that the relation between trust and IOBIT is more pronounced in emerging countries and in countries with weak investor protection, and lower levels of religiosity. The relation between trust and IOBIT is less pronounced in firms with strong corporate governance and lower managerial ability. Taken together, our study highlights the significant role that trust plays in affecting the efficiency of capital markets.</p

Gradient Hierarchical Hollow Heterostructures of Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub><i>x</i></sub>@rGO@MoS<sub>2</sub> for Efficient Microwave Absorption
Heterostructure engineering has emerged as a promising
approach
for creating high-performance microwave absorption materials in various
applications such as advanced communications, portable devices, and
military fields. However, achieving strong electromagnetic wave attenuation,
good impedance matching, and low density in a single heterostructure
remains a significant challenge. Herein, a unique structural design
strategy that employs a hollow structure coupled with gradient hierarchical
heterostructures to achieve high-performance microwave absorption
is proposed. MoS2 nanosheets are uniformly grown onto the
double-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene@rGO hollow microspheres through self-assembly and sacrificial
template techniques. Notably, the gradient hierarchical heterostructures,
comprising a MoS2 impedance matching layer, a reduced graphene
oxide (rGO) lossy layer, and a Ti3C2Tx MXene reflective layer, have demonstrated significant
improvements in impedance matching and attenuation capabilities. Additionally,
the incorporation of a hollow structure can further improve microwave
absorption while reducing the overall composite density. The distinctive
gradient hollow heterostructures enable Ti3C2Tx@rGO@MoS2 hollow microspheres
with exceptional microwave absorption properties. The reflection loss
value reaches as strong as −54.2 dB at a thin thickness of
1.8 mm, and the effective absorption bandwidth covers the whole Ku-band,
up to 6.04 GHz. This work provides an exquisite perspective on heterostructure
engineering design for developing next-generation microwave absorbers
