For some influencers, dropping F-bombs and other swear words is part of their brand, and their followers embrace it.

The shift away from fossil fuels can bring cleaner air, new jobs and major climate benefits. However, a new CMCC study finds that ensuring a just transition also requires giving affected communities a meaningful voice and respecting their identities, histories and ways of life. “The evidence shows that climate and environmental policies can deliver major benefits, but their costs and benefits may not affect everyone in the same way,” says CMCC researcher and lead author of the study Ireri Hernandez Carballo.

Unethical behavior inside organizations is often less sudden than companies assume. New research from ESMT Berlin shows how employees can collectively drift into misconduct as groups gradually reshape what they perceive as ethical or acceptable. 

New research from Texas A&M University examines what those competing effects mean for companies trying to manage demand through pricing, particularly for digital services where additional usage carries real costs.
