Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows.
Extrinsic rewards and crowding-out of prosocial behaviour
Can offering monetary rewards reduce prosocial behaviours like recycling? We find that rewards can both increase and decrease prosocial behaviours, and that the existence and size of the crowding-out effect depends on reward size and pre-existing levels of prosocial motivation.
Challenges and opportunities of wind and solar photovoltaic sources in times of war and COVID-19 pandemic
If, in normal times, mitigate climate change to prevent the temperature from rising above 1.5°C by 2050 to avoid dangerous climate action (IPCC, 2018) is a brutal challenge to humankind, imagine now with the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Europe.
Business model innovations driven by changing regime boundary conditions
“From 2012 to 2020, 17 vehicle manufacturers and 38 electric cars revealed a diverse menu of options with business model innovations originating at the crossing of boundaries between the electric and automotive socio-technical systems.”
How can we prevent the emergence of a vaccine resistant variant?
Evolution of vaccine resistance of COVID-19 is a problem which lies at the interface of molecular genetics, evolutionary biology and human behavior.
