SUMMARY:The Environmental Performance of Multinationals: Analyzing Differences between Host and Home Countries
DESCRIPTION:Should Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) adopt the same environmental standards when they operate in different countries? While it is assumed that MNEs can take advantage of cross-country differences in environmental regulations by moving production capacity to countries with lax environmental standards to reduce some of their costs\, in this paper\, we argue that MNEs can benefit from adopting the same environmental standards in all their international operations to improve their productivity\, efficiency\, and reputation. We will present results based on 128 MNEs with headquarters and subsidiaries based in the USA\, Canada\, France and Spain.Speaker BiographyAlberto Aragon-Correa is a Full Professor of Management at University of Granada (Spain). Alberto’s research interests include the connections between natural environment and corporate strategic management. He is now a Visiting Scholar at UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and works with Professor Magali Delmas (Director of the UCLA Center for Corporate Environmental Performance). Professor Aragon-Correa leads the ISDE-Innovation\, Sustainability\, and Development- at University of Granada involving 23 full time scholars. His research and visiting position is funded by the European Commission and the Spanish Ministry of Research.  Alberto has published papers in multiple top tier journals.

SUMMARY:Anderson Policy Area Seminar Series Featuring  Magali Delmas
DESCRIPTION:While research suggests that information policies have thepotential to reduce environmental pollution by allowing customers or investors\nto choose products or prefer companies with a smaller environmental footprint\,\nwe still have little understanding about the conditions under which people\nrespond to information about environmental performance and act on it. In this\nresearch\, we test the effect of intrinsic motivations\, social norms and\nreputation as potential motivators in the context of energy conservation\nbehavior. We implement a field experiment where we provide consumers with\nprivate and public information about their energy usage. Private information in\nthe form of real time feedback helps consumers understand their energy usage and\nlowers the cost of conservation. Public information in the form of energy\ndisplay posters about consumers’ individual energy usage allowed consumers to\nexperience reputation benefits from conspicuous conservation. The results of\nthe year-long experiment in the residence halls at the University of California\nLos Angeles\, show that reputational concerns effectively motivated heavy\nelectricity users to reduce consumption by 15 percent. Public information in\nconjunction with private information was more effective than private\ninformation alone to motivate conservation behavior.  \nFor\nmore information on this talk\, or other Policy Area seminars\, please visit:\nhttp://www.anderson.ucla.edu/x3681.xml

SUMMARY:Luskin/IOE Lunch Speaker Series with Rui Wang: "Built Environment\, Travel\, Nutrition and Health in Chinese Cities"
DESCRIPTION:Rui Wang\, UCLA School of Public Affairs\, will present at talk at the monthly IoES/Luskin faculty research seminar. His talk is entitled\, “Built Environment\, Travel\, Nutrition and Health in Chinese Cities.”\nAbstract:\nUsing a longitudinal survey of households and communities in China\, this study examines the potential causal relationship between the built environment and travel behavior\, nutrition intake\, and health of urban residents. The results show that: (1) household income\, size\, and accessibility to transit and schools affect motor vehicle ownership\, though differently depending on motor vehicle type and city size; (2) increase in household income and ownership of motor vehicle reduce the likelihood of cycling or walking by adult commuters; (3) availability of fast food restaurants in neighborhood and ownership of car increase children’s consumption of fast food; (4) the numbers of accessible supermarkets and free markets have opposite effects on urban residents’ food consumption\, measured by intakes of calorie\, protein\, carbohydrate and fat. Income level positively affects intake of protein. Ownership of motorcycle positively affects intake of protein and adult intake of carbohydrate. Neighborhood accessibility to fast food positively affects carbohydrate intake; and (5) adult body mass index is affected positively by income and negatively by education level and participation in housework. Overall\, neighborhood food environment\, such as access to markets and fast food restaurants\, shows significant effects on urban residents’ food and nutrition intake\, but not significantly on their health outcomes. While some features of the built environment\, such as accessibility to transit and schools\, show little direct effect on travel behavior\, nutrition intake\, or health of Chinese urban residents. Nevertheless\, evidence suggests that their effects may be indirect\, through household vehicle ownership. \nThe Faculty Research Seminar meets on the first Monday of every month to present the latest from UCLA’s scholars. A different faculty member presents their research and publications at every meeting\, making the FRS a source of diverse perspectives on some of the most important issues of today. This year’s speakers come from departments across UCLA\, including the Institute of the Environment\, the Anderson School of Management and the UCLA Law School. \nA light lunch will be served at the event.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Matt Kahn on "CLIMATOPOLIS: How Cities will Thrive in the Hotter Future"
DESCRIPTION:Over the next 20 years\, hundreds of millions of people will move to cities\, demanding the economic opportunities and material comforts of urban life: air conditioning\, personal computers\, rich diets\, cars\, cell phones. In 1950\, only 30 percent of the world’s population lived in urban areas; by 2030\, that figure will rise to 60 percent. While cities have long propelled economic growth and brought prosperity to their residents\, how will they fare as populations increase\, temperatures rise\, natural disasters threaten\, and resources grow scarce? UCLA Luskin Scholar and professor at the School of Public Affairs Matthew Kahn\, author of Climatopolis: How Our Cities Will Thrive in the Hotter Future\, visits Zócalo to explain how we can best prepare for the urban future.Thanks to our media sponsor: KCRWFor more information visit: http://zocalopublicsquare.org/upcoming.php?event_id=441
