Based on data German Microcensus available classifications of working-from-home feasibility for different occupations, we calculate travel work 15% employees full time Our findings suggest that translates into an annual increase heating expenditure 110 euros per worker a decrease 840 worker. All income groups would gain but high-income workers twice as much low-income workers. value saving is between 1.3 6 times greater than savings reduced almost 9 higher direct effects CO2 emissions due car commuting amount 4.5 millions tons CO2, representing around 3 percent carbon sector.

Distributional aspects of climate change impacts
Climate change is likely to impact more severely on the poorer people of the world, because they are more exposed to the weather, because they are closer to the biophysical and experience limits of climate, and because their adaptive capacity is lower. Estimates of aggregated impacts necessarily make assumptions on the relative importance of sectors, countries and periods; we propose to make th...

Much has been written about personalisation and the potential that this agenda holds for change within welfare services. Although carers have been identified as an important group in translating personalisation into practice we know very little about how the third sector might support carers in order to make personalisation effective. In this paper we examine the literature to identify the exis...
متن کاملWhat Will We Learn If a Higgs Boson Is Found ?
We examine what can be deduced from the discovery of a Higgs boson, focusing on a possible discovery at LEP. The analysis begins with the most general situation where no further constraints can be deduced, and then specializes to include various assumptions. Assuming naturalness, the relatively large mass suggests that one or more of larger tanβ, large phase, or extra singlets is present. We di...
