Harvard Business School_ Slack time and innovation
"it is not surprising that providing workers with more time by way of holidays or other forms of slack time could increase their level of innovation because a lower opportunity cost of time shifts the supply curve to the right, enabling workers to produce more innovations…slack time can lead to an increase in creative projects, particularly relatively complex, high-quality projects”
Green technology innovations only take effect in economies whose income surpass 34,694 US dollars /capita
“This paper investigates the impact of green technology innovations on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions based on a data panel covering 71 economies…study provides ample evidence that income levels drive the non-linear nexus between green technology innovations and CO2 emissions. We find that the effect of green technology innovations exists a single threshold effect with regard to the income level. To be specific, the effect of green technology innovations on reducing CO2 emissions is more significant for the economies whose income level surpass 34,694 US dollars (per capita)"

As minhas sinceras e humildes desculpas à nova Ministra da Agricultura
Porque é que os amigos dos vigaristas e de outros criminosos os protegem ?
Abaixo
resumo de recente artigo de investigadores dos EUA que ajuda a perceber porque
é que por exemplo muitos políticos assobiam ao cochicho (famosa expressão
utilizada pelo Presidente Marcelo quando em tempos vestiu o fato de comentador
dominical residente na TVI) sempre que alguns dos seus amigos são apanhados com
a boca na botija.
“Across
a series of ten studies involving a total of almost 3,000 participants…examined
how people say they would respond if someone close to them were to commit a
crime….Participants were more likely to respond that they would lie to the
police officer when they imagined that someone close to them had committed the
crime….And, worryingly, the effect was strongest when the crime was at the
severe end of the scale….doing so allows a person to
simultaneously (a) maintain their self-image as a morally upstanding individual and
(b) preserve and even enhance the close relationship….These findings could explain why, time and again,
we hear of high profile figures who have been committing horrific crimes for
decades, aided by the silence of their close friends and family.”https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0146167219873485

Exploração de lítio entregue a um dos acusados da maior fraude com fundos comunitários
No post que escrevi recentemente e acessível no link
acima esqueci-me de comentar o pequeno pormenor que se dá conta no pequeno texto abaixo:
A empresa em questão sabe-se agora que está a ser assessorada de forma muito competente por um ex-secretário de Estado (que foi acusado pelo Ministério Público por conta de convites da Galp), que sabe de lítio a potes, por via do seu currículo no jogo de Macau, o que faz todo o sentido pois isto da exploração do lítio mais não é do que um jogo, muito lucrativo para alguém ! e quando questionado sobre se andou a fazer alguma pressão sobre os antigos Colegas do Governo por causa da referida concessão, manda dizer que, não se lembra se falou, mas que até pode ter falado mas que garante "não pus pressão" !
