We outline a benchmark carbon dioxide (CO2) intensity system with tradable permits for the aviation industry that will incent in-sector emission abatement opportunities that cost less than the social cost of carbon (SCC). The system sets benchmark emission intensities (CO2 emissions per revenue ton kilometer) by route group and facilitates flexibility in meeting the benchmarks by allowing airli...

Spend your few moment to read a book even only few pages. Reading book is not obligation and force for everybody. When you don't want to read, you can get punishment from the publisher. Read a book becomes a choice of your different characteristics. Many people with reading habit will always be enjoyable to read, or on the contrary. For some reasons, this win win solution guaranteeing fair shar...

This chapter describes a new sustainable business model, Innovation 2.0, led and deployed by the author, with the goal of increasing the innovation level at the telco service portfolio for the end-user, thank to the convergence of Internet and Telco worlds and the ‘fresh’ and ‘effervescent’ proposals created by start-ups. This model, created by Win Win Consultants, a Spanish company leader in m...

describe increased struggles between academics and administrators—struggles arising from the rapidly expanding role of administration in collegial governance. This expansion challenges faculty preference for slower, deliberate change, and for collegial, consensual decision-making. “You will find universities that 10 years ago were run in a collegial fashion now completely structured to look fro...

Win-win choices cause anxiety, often more so than decisions lacking the opportunity for a highly desired outcome. These anxious feelings can paradoxically co-occur with positive feelings, raising important implications for individual decision styles and general well-being. Across three studies, people chose between products that varied in personal value. Participants reported feeling most posit...

Recent practise has revealed that conservation interventions that seek to achieve multiple benefits generally face significant, if under-recognized trade-offs. REDD+ policies present prospective win–win solutions for climate change mitigation, rural development and biodiversity conservation. Notably, protecting, enhancing and restoring forests for their carbon sequestration services has the pot...

A class of binary decision-making tasks called the two-alternative forced-choice task has been used extensively in psychology and behavioral economics experiments to investigate human decision making. The human subject makes a choice between two options at regular time intervals and receives a reward after each choice; for a variety of reward structures, these experiments showconvergence of the...

Lewis-Skyrms signaling games (Lewis 1969; Skyrms 2010) have been studied under a variety of low-rationality learning dynamics (Barrett 2006; Barrett and Zollman 2009; Huttegger, Skyrms, Smead, and Zollman 2010; Huttegger, Skyrms, Tarrès, and Wagner 2014; Huttegger, Skyrms, and Zollman 2014). Reinforcement dynamics are stable but slow and prone to evolving suboptimal signaling conventions. A low...
