Study on Announcement Effect of Stock Repurchase from the Perspective of Configuration Analysis by Hong Bing Wang, Ai Hua Jin, Hai Yun Yu

“…Through the analysis of the degree of premium (DP), repurchase ratio (RR), natural logarithm of total assets (LAS), return on net assets (ROE), top 10 shareholder equity ratio (CR10), and executive shareholding ratio (MSL), it is found that the paths of high CAR stock repurchase effect include repurchase clause-oriented type and centralization-proportional matching type; the path of nonhigh CAR stock repurchase effect includes size-premium limit type, profit-proportion limit type, and repurchase clause limit type. …”

Visions of Sustainable Future Shaped Through a Dilemma: International Tourism Development and Lagoon Management in Bacalar by Eriko Yamasaki, Laura Meneghello

“…Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in March 2019, this paper examines the visions of sustainability that the citizens of Bacalar developed in the attempt to find a balance between the growth of international tourism and the protection of local natural heritage. It analyses local narratives and interprets discourses of sustainability as being the outcome of translocal processes characterised by a productive friction between vernacular perceptions of the environment and the globalised concept of sustainability.…”
