🔍 In this paper, I adopt a political behavior economy approach to explore why local politicians either facilitate or hinder the implementation of place-based policies. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for effective policy-making and regional development. 🌍⚖️

🚀 Does size matter? Our study shows that biomethane project size isn’t the only factor in social acceptability. Trust, transparency & local engagement matter just as much! Balancing industrial ambition & local needs is key. 🔗 www.linkedin.com/posts/s%C3%A... #Biomethane #EnergyTransition

Adaptability to emergencies does not happen by chance or accident. It is the product of deliberate, long-term planning.
Those who wait for a crisis to act are already too late, say @bourdinseb.bsky.social et al. in their new @ijurresearch.bsky.social paper.
