Also, disgusting billionairs sailing their private yachts easily camouflage under maritime shipping statute to escape any fuel tax (they just need to buy a candy bar at the marina shop of any other country they departed from during their trip)
Tax Justice Network@taxjustice.net · 10mo agoMaritime shipping is the invisible conveyor belt of global consumption, responsible for about 3% of global emissions yet excluded from the Paris Agreement. A global levy on shipping emissions is vital for accountability, #taxjustice must be part of that change. Bob Michel @TaxJusticeNet

Despite the hype, past research found no clear link between AI adoption and long-term productivity gains. Now a new report from @torontomet.bsky.social confirms it: no solid evidence that AI drives short-term productivity growth either. dais.ca/reports/wait...
Waiting for Takeoff: The short-term impact of AI adoption on firm productivity
In this study, we tackle the critical question of whether AI adoption leads to productivity improvement at the firm level.

Juanita Uribe@uribejuanita.bsky.social · 2y agoExcited to share my new paper “Governing on par with states” published #openaccess in RIS @risjnl.bsky.social. I examine how private actors have shifted from entities to be regulated to being viewed as necessary part of solutions to global problems. 1/5 ⬇️ doi.org/10.1017/S026...
Insurtech is now increasingly jeopardising the solidarity principle on which microinsurance was initially conceived. It is high time to re-think the agenda that reinscribes the state as the primary risk holder and provider of universal social measures. 7/8
