This study examines global econo-environmental capability for 118 countries over 1995 to 2024 using a five-lens framework covering productive capacity (PC), developmental momentum (DM), resource efficiency (RE), degradation and depletion ratio (DDR), and remaining development potential (RDP)....

Background: Boundary-spanning bank employees experience continuous customer interactions that can generate negative emotions and influence how they perceive interpersonal treatment at work. Although emotions are known to shape fairness judgments, little is understood about how negative emotions...

This study examines how large language models (LLMs) respond to varying stake sizes in the Dictator and Ultimatum games using the high-stakes design introduced by Andersen et al. (2011). We test ten leading LLMs chosen for their accessibility, prominence, and differences in reasoning...

We study conflicts between envy-based fairness and efficiency for allocating indivisible items under additive utilities. We formalize several small, transparent instances showing that standard envy-freeness (EF) or its relaxations EFX and EFX0-i.e., envy-freeness up to any item, where EFX...

In knowledge-intensive professions such as auditing, positive workplace relationships are essential to effective performance. Yet, the specific mechanisms through which ethical leadership encourages critical, collaborative behaviours, such as knowledge sharing, remain underexplored. This study...

Designing shared road spaces that accommodate multiple modes of transport is central to promoting active travel, but engagement can be hindered by perceptions of danger and unfairness, especially among groups more worried about navigating shared spaces. This study used an online randomised...

We study how incarceration experience shapes preferences for criminal justice policies. In collaboration with a newly opened prison, we conducted a randomized field experiment that o!ered citizens the opportunity to experience up to two days of incarceration, closely replicating the real-life...

Public administrations continue to adopt open data initiatives. These initiatives involve creating, releasing, and re-using data sets on political, social, and economic aspects, which are published in machine-readable, interoperable formats and under open licenses. Yet, many open data...

Empirical evidence suggests that social acceptance of redistribution depends on whether income differences result from preferences (of which individuals are responsible) or from circumstances. We propose a new empirical method that measures the importance of preferences in the distribution of...

We study how incarceration experience shapes preferences for criminal justice policies. In collaboration with a newly opened prison, we conducted a randomized field experiment that offered citizens the opportunity to experience up to two days of incarceration, closely replicating the real-life...

Purpose - Egypt could face total water depletion by 2050 due to the current waterscarcity of aboutseven billion cubic meters. Climatic shocks worsen this crisis, alongside Ethiopia's unilateral construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). This has caused a stalemate, raising...

Kenya’s justice sector has undergone a significant transformation following the 2010 Constitution, which strengthened judicial autonomy and independence. This report examines the state of the justice system in Kenya based on the JUPITER Methodology. JUPITER is a country‑based assessment...

In apex and constitutional courts, decisions are typically taken by a panel. If the panel decides per curiam, decisions can at most be explained by the fraction of panel members that share some demographic marker. Using this approach, in the German Constitutional Court outcomes are not...

This paper introduces fairer measures of individual pitcher performance in baseball using the Shapley Value from coalitional game theory. The paper's key conceptual innovation is a novel two-stage procedure for constructing the coalitionary game value functions for runs allowed and outs recorded...

This open access handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the concept of just green transitions and its key dimensions. With a specific focus on the Western Balkans and other key European regions, it explores the core policy thematic areas at the heart of the just green transition and the...

The pressure to keep up with others may shift attention from environmental protection as a collective good toward private positional concerns. We study whether income comparisons are associated with environmental concern using the Socio-Economic Panel for 2000-2020. Individual fixed-effects...

Carbon pricing can deliver large emissions reductions, but public opposition remains a key barrier. We study how support for carbon tax-and-transfer schemes depends on policy design and information provision in a large-scale survey experiment with German respondents. Explaining the policy...

Artificial intelligence increasingly shapes economic decisions, yet its value depends on whether humans rely on it appropriately. This survey selectively reviews experimental economic evidence (2020 - 2026) on trust in AI, with a focus on privacy, transparency, accountability, fairness, and...

We study whether different factor inputs, capital and labor, are perceived as differentially deserving of their returns to production and the impact of such perceptions on support for redistributive policies. We develop an experimental paradigm to measure fundamental perceptions of distinct...

We study whether different factor inputs, capital and labor, are perceived as differentially deserving of their returns to production and the impact of such perceptions on support for redistributive policies. We develop an experimental paradigm to measure fundamental perceptions of distinct...

This paper examines the design of optimal family policies when children have unequal needs (in terms of material goods and parental time), leading to heterogeneous preferences, and have parents with unequal degrees of altruism. We examine the issue of interpersonal well-being comparisons between...

We study whether different factor inputs, capital and labor, are perceived as differentially deserving of their returns to production and the impact of such perceptions on support for redistributive policies. We develop an experimental paradigm to measure fundamental perceptions of distinct...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the modern workplace by offering unprecedented opportunities to enhance employee creativity and organizational innovation. In the context of digital transformation, organizations are striving to ensure sustainable performance; however, research remains...
