Retail clothing Returns: A review of key issues
- 2017
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Global online shopping has been increasing over the past decade, with no sign of stopping as new shopping formats, technology and consumer behaviour continuously interact to encourage and facilitate it. The clothing retail sector dominates e-shopping in most countries and there is a considerable literature related to the outward logistics associated with it. However, return rates in this sector range from around 20%-60% depending on specific product characteristics. Despite the logistical challenges this imposes, there is very little literature (particularly of an academic nature) on either the logistics or the environmental consequences of the logistics associated with these returns. This paper seeks to address this gap by analysing the reverse logistics of the clothing industry, the challenges it faces and its environmental consequences and suggests some policy implications.

Studies of photocurrent and dark current in quantum dots-in-a-well infrared photodetectors
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The performance of quantum dots-in-a-well infrared photodetectors (DWELL IPs) has been studied by means of interband and intersubband photocurrent measurements as well as dark current measurements. Using interband photocurrent measurements, substantial escape of electrons from lower lying states in the DWELL structure at large biases was revealed. Furthermore, a significant variation of the escape probability from energy states in the DVELL sturcture with voltage was observed. These facts could be possible explanations to the strong temperature and voltage dependence of hoth photocurrent and dark current in DWELL IPs. In a comparison between DWELL IPs and quantum well infrared photocdetectors (QWIPs), the dark current was shown to be considerably lower in DWELL IPs than in QWIPs, but alos the responsivity was low in comparison to QWIPs.

Bank Green Lending and Credit Risk
- 2020

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study empirically investigates the relationship between banks’ green lending and their credit risk, and how Chinese green finance regulations contribute to the solvency of individual banks and the resilience of the financial system as a whole. Using a sample of 41 Chinese banks for the period 2007-2018, we find that the association between a bank’s (relative) green lending as a proportion of its overall loan portfolio, and its credit risk, depends critically on the size and structure of state ownership. While the implementation of China’s Green Credit Policy reduces credit risk for the major state-controlled banks, it increases credit risk for the city and regional commercial banks. This performance difference is largely due to information and expertise asymmetries, with city and regional commercial banks having less access to information and expertise necessary to evaluate the credit risk of green lending. Understanding this phenomenon can help policymakers tailor green finance policies according to banks’ characteristics. It also suggests that mechanisms and platforms for city/regional commercial banks to learn from major state-controlled banks could be beneficial.
