Perceptions of Catastrophic Climate Risks
Get PDFMany climate change-related risks, such as more frequent and severe natural disasters, can be characterised as low-probability/high-consequence (LP/HC) events. Perceptions of LP/HC risks are often associated with biases which hamper taking action to limit these risks, such as underestimation of risk, myopia, and the adoption of simplified decision heuristics. This chapter discusses these biases and outlines key elements of policies to overcome them in order to enhance climate action

Which policies prevent a widening gap between higher and lower educated people? Which policy instruments are there, and how could they be used? What is the role of free entrepreneurship?

Corporate Taxation in a Circular Economy
No full textA circular economy leads to challenges for the system of corporate taxation. However, there exist already a legal rationale for the levy of corporate tax in a circular economy. Such a rationale, a convincing raison d’être for corporate taxation in a circular economy, contributes to the legitimacy for a green corporate tax. I explore some new measures in corporate taxation that are consistent with a circular economy

Economie met een ziel: de toekomst van het kapitalisme
No full text‘Ik ben een schoonheid in niets anders dan mijn boeken.’ Aldus beschreef Adam Smith zichzelf ooit eens aan een vriend. Smith, met zijn boek The wealth of nations uit 1776 grondlegger van het economisch denken, was geen knappe man en zijn hele leven leed Smith aan een trillend hoofd en aan een vreemde en stotterende manier van spreken.1 Tweehonderdvijftig jaar later is het niet alleen de fysieke verschijning van Smith die op weinig bewondering kan rekenen. Ook zijn intellectuele erfenis staat onder druk
