Abstract
Abstract This study investigates the impact of academic professor‐directors on Chinese firms' environmental performance. We find that the presence of board directors who are also professors has a positive impact on firms' environmental protection performance, and the result is robust after controlling for the potential endogeneity of professor‐directors. This is consistent with the notion that professor board directors are perceived to take more social responsibility and are more likely to advocate for sustainability. However, this positive impact is mitigated significantly by the presence of professor board directors with administrative titles. Moreover, the above results are mainly driven by non‐state‐owned enterprises, firms with less powerful CEOs, firms with better analyst coverage, and firms with less financial distress. Our study highlights the importance of academic directors for firms' environmental performance.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
