Credit, Employment, and the COVID Crisis

open access: yesLSE Public Policy Review, 2021
Pandemic-motivated lockdowns can expose firms to a vicious cycle: they cannot borrow enough to keep paying wages and are forced to dismiss workers; the dismissal of workers in turn reduces future productivity, sales, and profits; and those bleak ...

How “Green” is Your Functional Material? Assessing Environmental Impacts of Multi‐Step Synthetic Protocols in Material Sciences at Various Technology Levels

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Environmental Synthesis Radar (ESR) evaluates the environmental impact of (early‐stage) multi‐step chemical syntheses, providing a holistic view by using 18 midpoint impact categories. Unlike conventional life‐cycle assessment (LCA) approaches, ESR reveals three complementary metrics: overall impact Vtotal, environmental hotspots VEF, and critical ...
