Climate costs smallest if warming is limited to 2°C
Climate costs are likely smallest if global warming is limited to 2 degrees Celsius; the politically negotiated Paris Agreement is thus also the economically sensible one, Potsdam researchers find in a new study
How employees’ rankings disrupt cooperation and how managers can restore it
Cassandra Chambers observes that the introduction of performance rankings dramatically disrupts cooperation in groups. But simply supplying groups with information about their members’ rates of cooperation could largely offset this negative effect
