What motivates Indonesian farmers to convert to organic farming in the long-term? Can the environment be protected and the productivity of the farms be preserved or even increased with the help of digital technology and knowledge?

How does it affect employees when they are no longer able to make important decisions in their work themselves, but have to leave them to a decision-substitutive AI system instead? Researchers at the Universities of Passau and Bayreuth have been looking into this question – taking the loan consulting process as an example.
How can states take action against everyday tax evasion and how can a better tax morale be achieved? A team of students of the Deutsche Berufsschule Hong Kong has developed an exceptional solution which was given the Best Scientific Analysis Award at the nationwide “Young Economic Summit YES!”.

Public life and economic activity was reduced to a minimum as part of measures to tackle the coronavirus pandemic, which changed the demand on the energy market. Energy consumption and CO2 emissions fell sharply to levels never seen before in times of peace.

Economists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and in Switzerland are have been investigating how the reduction in demand for energy affected CO2 emission levels in Europe.
