Are Models of Strong Gravitational Lensing by Clusters Converging or Diverging? by Derek Perera, John H Miller Jr, Liliya L. R. Williams, Jori Liesenborgs, Allison Keen, Sung Kei Li, Marceau Limousin

“…This suggests that lens models are neither converging nor diverging to a common solution for this system, regardless of method. With this result, we suggest that future models more carefully investigate lensing degeneracies and anomalous mass clumps (mass features significantly displaced from baryonic counterparts) to rigorously evaluate their model's validity. …”

Is there a peer effect on corporate ESG performance? Evidence from China’s capital market by Longsheng Xi, Hongjie Bian, Xingyu Wang

“…The results show that: (i) There is an industry and regional peer effect on the ESG performance of enterprises, where the average ESG performance of other enterprises in the same industry and region, except for the focus enterprise, significantly affects the ESG performance of the focus enterprise.This core conclusion still holds true after robustness tests such as instrumental variable method, propensity score matching method, and first-order difference method to eliminate endogeneity issues, replace key measurement indicators, and control for macro factors. …”
