SUMMARY:Do consumers (have to) pay for ESG?
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Robert Raney\, IESE Business School\, examines the pricing of ESG in product markets with focus on ESG-related incidents in the airline industry. \nThis seminar examines the pricing of ESG (i.e.\, environmental\, social\, and governance) in product markets. Price effects may be demand-driven\, reflecting consumers’ willingness to pay for ESG outcomes\, or supply-driven\, as firms pass ESG-related costs onto consumers. \nFor identification\, we focus on ESG-related incidents in the airline industry\, which offers comprehensive public data on consumer prices. We observe that airlines increase ticket prices following ESG incidents. The price reaction is more pronounced when customers are less elastic\, airlines are more elastic\, or the demand-side effect is weaker. \nCollectively\, our results show that consumers (at least partly) pay for the ESG initiatives and that ESG-related price increases cannot be fully explained by consumer demand for better environmental or social outcomes. \nLanguage: English \nRegistration: for online partecipation\, please register at the link Microsoft Virtual Events Powered by Teams \nEvent Website: Do consumers (have to) pay for ESG? / Free University of Bozen-Bolzano

SUMMARY:The Role of Renewables in the Green Transition of Biofuels Production
DESCRIPTION:An insight into the integration of variable renewable energies in biofuels production as a key component of the green transition. \nThe integration of variable renewable energies (VREs) such as wind and solar (PV) in biofuels production is a key component of the green transition\, particularly in island settings. Many non-interconnected islands rely heavily on fossil fuels\, making renewable solutions both economically and environmentally viable. Recent studies on Greek islands like Anafi and Ai Stratis highlight the potential of hybrid systems combining PV and wind energy for sustainable electricity generation. To further enhance biofuel production\, hydrothermal treatment methods are being explored. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) are emerging technologies that convert agricultural waste into valuable biochar and biofuels. A novel approach\, PV-assisted hydrothermal pyrolysis (HYDROPYR)\, merges HTC with pyrolysis to optimize biocarbon production while utilizing renewable energy sources. This process significantly reduces the energy footprint of hydrothermal conversion by integrating solar power. Additionally\, hydrothermal carbonization is being investigated as a promising method for reducing persistent pollutants like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in wastewater sludge. By coupling VREs with advanced biofuel processing technologies\, the green transition of biofuels production becomes more efficient and sustainable. \nEvent website: The Role of Renewables in the Green Transition of Biofuels Production / Free University of Bozen-Bolzano

SUMMARY:Cooperative di Comunità: Innovazione\, Sviluppo e Inclusione - Bürgergenossenschaften: Innovation\, Entwicklung und Inklusion
DESCRIPTION:IT_L’evento si propone di esplorare il ruolo delle cooperative di comunità come modello di sviluppo territoriale\, con un focus specifico sull’Alto Adige. \nLe cooperative di comunità rappresentano un modello innovativo di sviluppo locale\, capace di coniugare partecipazione attiva\, valorizzazione delle risorse e risposta ai bisogni della collettività. Anche in Alto Adige\, queste realtà si stanno affermando come strumenti fondamentali per rafforzare la coesione sociale e promuovere un’economia sostenibile\, radicata nel territorio. \nL’evento vuole essere un’occasione di confronto e approfondimento sul ruolo delle cooperative di comunità\, mettendo in luce esperienze concrete e buone pratiche che stanno contribuendo alla crescita di diverse aree\, dalle valli alpine ai piccoli borghi. Attraverso il contributo di esperti del mondo accademico e di chi opera direttamente sul campo\, esploreremo le potenzialità di questo modello\, analizzando i fattori chiave per il successo e le sfide da affrontare\, con uno sguardo specifico anche al quadro normativo e alle legislazioni che regolano e sostengono queste realtà. Un’opportunità per conoscere da vicino le strategie adottate per rilanciare servizi locali\, favorire la transizione ecologica e creare nuove opportunità di lavoro\, rafforzando al contempo il senso di appartenenza delle comunità. \nLingua: Italiano e Tedesco \nRegistrazione: Cooperative di Comunità: Innovazione\, Sviluppo e Inclusione – Login \nProgramma: Programma_IT_DE-1.pdf \nSito dell’evento: Cooperative di Comunità: Innovazione\, Sviluppo e Inclusione / Libera Università di Bolzano \n____________________________________________ \nDE_Die Veranstaltung hat zum Ziel\, die Rolle der Bürgergenossenschaften als Modell für die territoriale Entwicklung zu untersuchen\, mit einem speziellen Fokus auf Südtirol. \nDie Bürgergenossenschaften stellen ein innovatives Modell der lokalen Entwicklung dar\, das aktive Teilnahme\, die Wertschätzung von Ressourcen und die Antwort auf die Bedürfnisse der Gemeinschaft miteinander vereint. Auch in Südtirol etablieren sich diese Initiativen zunehmend als zentrale Instrumente zur Stärkung des sozialen Zusammenhalts und zur Förderung einer nachhaltigen Wirtschaft\, die im Territorium verankert ist. \nDie Veranstaltung soll eine Gelegenheit zum Austausch und zur Vertiefung des Themas der Gemeinschaftsgenossenschaften bieten\, indem konkrete Erfahrungen und gute Praktiken aufgezeigt werden\, die zum Wachstum verschiedener Regionen beitragen\, von den alpinen Tälern bis zu kleinen Dörfern. Durch die Beiträge von Experten aus der Wissenschaft und von Akteuren vor Ort werden wir das Potenzial dieses Modells untersuchen\, die Schlüsselfaktoren für den Erfolg analysieren und die Herausforderungen\, die es zu bewältigen gilt\, erörtern – mit einem besonderen Augenmerk auf den rechtlichen Rahmen und die Gesetzgebung\, die diese Initiativen regeln und unterstützen. Eine Gelegenheit\, die Strategien kennenzulernen\, die zur Wiederbelebung lokaler Dienstleistungen\, zur Förderung des ökologischen Wandels und zur Schaffung neuer Arbeitsmöglichkeiten beitragen\, während gleichzeitig das Zugehörigkeitsgefühl der Gemeinschaften gestärkt wird. \nSprache: Italienisch und Deutsch \nAnmeldung: Cooperative di Comunità: Innovazione\, Sviluppo e Inclusione – Login \nProgramme: Programma_IT_DE-1.pdf \nEvent website: Bürgergenossenschaften: Innovation\, Entwicklung und Inklusion / Freie Universität Bozen
