To this end, a spatial bio-economic model was developed using transect methods to quantify population sizes and an ocean circulation high-resolution coastal model constructed to estimate connectivity between the water basins. The results showed that both harvest and vessel treatment measures offer cost-efficient solutions, but their optimal levels and timings depend on the choice of spatial target for acceptable population sizes. The costs can be high if increases in populations are to be avoided, but these costs are doubled when the target is to eradicate the populations. The results were also sensitive to parameter values in the population dynamics and cost functions, and to assumptions involved in policymakers' decisions about the targets to be achieved.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51021,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Economics","volume":"235 ","pages":"Article 108612"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143759860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, we evaluate both the Dutch government's scenarios for a circular economy and a set of circular objectives that lead to an optimised projection for 2050. We find that the circular value chain for clothing can have positive effects on the Dutch labour market, including creating new jobs, and upscaling existing ones. Specifically, we evaluated the Dutch clothing value chain through “Rethink,” “Reuse,” and “Recycle” scenarios, which respectively reduced imports, increased job creation with potential price impacts, and prioritized waste minimization. Moreover, the optimisation results indicated that pursuing circular economy objectives boosted both gross and low-skilled labour demand, but a narrow focus on labour maximisation raised other variables, underscoring the need for balanced strategies. Effective resource minimisation reduced clothing volumes, while “Rethink” and “Reuse” strategies required less low-skilled labour compared to recycling, emphasizing targeted skill training's importance.

Prompted by this question, our paper draws on research examining lived experiences of creative work in Sydney, Australia. Through time-based spatial analysis of everyday spaces of diverse creative workers (musicians, theatre producers, actors, playwrights, visual artists, and studio managers), detailed geographies of work are revealed. Rather than rely upon single worksites, creative work involves multiple tasks undertaken across many worksites (av = 23 each). Attentive to the particulars of the creative labour process, we map sites of production, performance, networking, supplies, and inspiration. Qualitative GIS analysis confirms that centripetal effects associated with the creative sector cohere with x-minute city thinking. Yet, these centripetal effects were not universal, being most evident in the city's preeminent cluster, where “back spaces” of creativity—inconspicuous worksites of production, recording, and rehearsal—coalesced in mundane spaces. Concurrently, in a city beleaguered by merciless property markets, centrifugal effects associated with gentrification and loss of low-rent back spaces confront x-minute city potential. Aligning x-minute city concepts with the creative sectors requires more than precinct activation policies. It requires grounded qualitative-spatial research to reveal topologies of creative work, and the political-economic dynamics undermining them.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 105938"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143759725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But do promises work? In particular, can making a promise effectively promote honesty by increasing the moral cost of lying? We explored this research question in three high-powered experiments using representative samples from Norway and the United States (N=7,200). Based on a one-shot “mind game”, in which dishonesty is economically incentivized but impossible to detect at the individual level, we find that about 1/4 of participants are willing to lie for the chance of winning a bonus reward of $100. Crucially, dishonesty was significantly reduced, on average by 7 percentage points (25 percent), when participants were asked to make an inconsequential promise to report accurate information. This <em>promise effect</em> was equally strong in both Norway and the United States, and in different participant subgroups. However, promises reduced dishonesty only when the promise required active choice, suggesting that personal engagement increases the internal inconsistency that would arise from a subsequent lie. In contrast with predictions, an experimentally manipulated expression of trust did not impact honesty by itself or boost the effect of making a promise. Given recent debates about the replicability of dishonesty research in social science, the current work provides high-quality evidence of broad relevance, documenting a moderate but robust effect of promises on subsequent dishonesty. The promise effect is formalized in a simple model integrating cognitive dissonance theory from psychology with perspectives on moral decision-making from behavioral economics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48409,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization","volume":"233 ","pages":"Article 106995"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143747214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It presents a novel framework to facilitate the study, synthesis, and interpretation of findings in this complex field. We find that most of the literature can be classified within five overarching approaches: the development, justice, vulnerability, consumption, and geopolitical approaches. The development approach focuses on inequality of access to efficient, sustainable, and affordable energy sources, along with its impact on human and economic development. The justice approach advocates for greater inclusion of civil society in energy transition and decision-making processes. In the vulnerability approach, energy poverty is presented as a continuum of vulnerability with a focus on the effect of the energy transition on vulnerable individuals or groups. In the consumption approach, the understanding of energy consumption patterns and drivers is key. Finally, the geo-political approach highlights the importance of understanding energy inequalities at national and regional scales. The thematic framework introduced in this study provides an effective means of distilling findings from the multidisciplinary fields of energy and transport poverty to aid the development of policy and investment interventions.
