Do the Generational Cohorts of CEOs Influence Corporate Travel Emissions?
基于曼海姆代际理论，研究CEO的代际背景如何影响企业差旅碳排放。对347家跨国企业数据分析发现，千禧一代和X世代CEO所在企业的差旅排放低于婴儿潮一代CEO，但CEO任期越长排放越低。
ABSTRACT According to Mannheim's generational theory, each generation exhibits unique attitudes that shape its behaviour. This paper suggests that a CEO's generational background can shape their environmental views, which, in turn, influence the company's business travel policies. Using econometric models and data from 347 firms in 31 countries, the study tests this idea. Results show that companies led by Millennials or Generation X CEOs tend to produce fewer emissions from business trips compared to those led by Baby Boomer CEOs. However, this effect is influenced by CEO tenure: Longer tenure is associated with lower travel emissions. Overall, the data indicate that a CEO's age is positively related to higher business travel emissions.
