A 2050 Perspective on the Role for Carbon Capture and Storage in the European Power System and Industry Sector

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) might be a central technology to reach the decarbonisation goals of the European energy system.

Using COME-HERE longitudinal data from 2021, this investigation links mask wearing, prosocial behaviour, and well-being.

Public Good Provision and Local Employment: Evidence from Grammar School Closures in East Germany

This paper assesses the impact of public good provision on the spatial distribution of employment as predicted by a local labor market model that allows for commuting.
