This extended abstract shows the importance of human intuition in the context of creating new knowledge. In particular, inspirational intuition plays an important role. In contrast to Daniel Kahneman's fast, intuitive and routine decision-making in terms of a System 1 (Kahneman 2011, pp. 19...

Innovation is a key element behind the achievement of desired environmental and economic performances. Regarding CO2, mitigation strategies would require cuts in emissions of around 80-90% with respect to 1990. We investigate whether complementarity, namely integration, between the adoption of...

Extensive research is now under way around the world to develop advanced technologies to enhance the performances of infrastructure systems. While these technological advances are incremental in nature, they will eventually lead to structures which are distinctly different from the actual...

This article demonstrates that when finite lifetime is introduced in a Lucas (1988) growth model, the environmental policy may enhance growth both in the short- and the long-run, while pollution does not influence educational activities, labor supply is not elastic and human capital does not...

In recent decades, a noticeable uptick has been seen in the issuing of eco-friendly bonds across green, social, and sustainable categories. The study examines their intersection with economic expansion and sustainability using panel data from 82 countries analyzed through robust fixed-effects...

Innovation is a key element behind the achievement of desired environmental and economic performances. Regarding CO2, mitigation strategies would require cuts in emissions of around 80-90% with respect to 1990. We investigate whether complementarity, namely integration, between the adoption of...

This paper addresses several broad issues for governments aiming to encourage private sector investment in low-carbon climate resilient (LCR) infrastructure, in both developed and developing world contexts. LCR infrastructure is defined, recognizing the interdependencies between infrastructure...

Corinth and Lucas look the relationship between climate and homelessness. They find that cold places uniformly have low rates of unsheltered homelessness, while warm places display wide variation.

Climate change causes a vast magnitude of impacts that cut across boundaries and spill over time. It results in various, interrelated effects on important aspects of society. Direct and indirect effects of climate change touch on, for instance, health (e.g., Watts et al. 2015) and on labor...
