New Study Reveals Misconceptions in Climate Action Support
On July 7, 2026, a research team from the University of Erfurt published a significant study in Nature Climate Change, contesting the long-held belief that individuals underestimate public support for climate protection. Led by Dr. Kevin Tiede from the Institute for Planetary Health Behaviour, the study uncovered a complex reality. "Until now, it has often been assumed that people do not support climate protection more strongly or take action themselves because they believe they are in the minority with their attitude," Tiede stated. However, findings indicate that people sometimes overestimate how many are actually engaged in climate protection efforts. The researchers analyzed responses from over 5,000 participants across Germany and the USA. They discovered that while individuals primarily support climate initiatives, they tend to underestimate the size of this majority. Conversely, there is an overestimation regarding how many are actively donating to climate causes or participating in political activism. This simultaneous underestimation and overestimation are attributed to a psychological tendency to shift extreme views toward a perceived average. Tiede explained, "Part of what has so far been labeled pluralistic ignorance could be due to very general thought processes when estimating proportions." These findings have important implications for climate communication strategies. Although it was previously believed that highlighting broad public support could enhance social engagement, the study concludes that merely addressing misperceptions may not be enough to encourage actionable climate behavior. Instead, facilitating practical solutions and effectively communicating them might be key to fostering a more climate-friendly society. For more details, the full study can be accessed here.
A groundbreaking study from the University of Erfurt challenges the assumption that people underestimate public support for climate action, showing that individuals often overestimate the level of engagement among others.

Call for Papers: Talent Economics Conference 2026 Global Talent Fund and the Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance (EIEF) invite submissions for the Talent Economics Conference. The conference aims to bring together leading researchers to discuss frontier research on the economics of talent. We are particularly interested in three questions. First, how does exceptional STEM talent develop, and what role do cognitive ability, effort, environment, and noise in measurement play in producing the right tail of the distribution? Second, how can high-potential young people be identified earlier and more reliably, particularly outside the rich-country institutions that currently capture them? Third, how do exceptional individuals shape scientific discovery, productivity, and growth: through their own output, through spillovers to peers, and through the networks they help form? We welcome both theoretical and empirical contributions on topics including, but not limited to: Gifted education programs and interventions Early indicators of future STEM excellence Access to higher education for talented individuals Sectoral allocation of talent and its consequences Cognitive ability and human capital accumulation The role of talented individuals in science and innovation Keynote speakers: Prithwiraj (Raj) Choudhury, LSE John Van Reenen, LSE Program committee Ruchir Agarwal (Harvard University and Global Talent Fund) Gaia Dossi (Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance) Patrick Gaule (University of Bristol and Global Talent Fund) PhD workshop: A half-day workshop on Talent Economics will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday 21 October 2026.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2027: LAW, ECONOMICS, TRADE AND JUSTICE
ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2027: LAW, ECONOMICS, TRADE AND JUSTICE 5–6 February 2027 Centre for Development Policy and Practice and Economic Policy Center, Mahindra University About the Organisers The Centre for Law, Economics and Society (CLES) is a research initiative of the Centre for Development Policy and Practice (CDPP). It researches on legal institutions and governance through a law and economics perspective, with a particular focus on access to justice, legal processes and institutional effectiveness. The initiative examines how legal systems, institutions and regulatory frameworks shape socio-economic outcomes, including market performance, distribution and access to justice. This conference is jointly organised by the Centre for Development Policy and Practice and the Economic Policy Center of Mahindra University, bringing together academic research, policy engagement and institutional collaboration to examine the intersections of law, economics, trade and justice. Background and Rationale Legal systems play a foundational role in shaping democratic governance, economic activity and international trade relations. Effective legal institutions enable contract enforcement, reduce transaction costs, foster trust in markets and support cross-border economic engagement while ensuring rights, equity and accountability. Structural challenges, including judicial delays, uneven institutional capacity, regulatory complexity and barriers to legal representation, continue to limit timely and equitable access to justice in many jurisdictions. These challenges affect not only individuals and vulnerable communities but also broader economic outcomes such as investment, labour market performance, regulatory efficiency and trade competitiveness. Legal and regulatory frameworks influence market behaviour through competition policy, labour regulation, investment protection and trade governance. Contemporary developments, including tariff disputes, trade wars, supply chain disruptions and climate-related trade measures, have intensified the need to understand the relationship between law, trade and economic governance. As countries increasingly negotiate bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, questions surrounding dispute settlement mechanisms, intellectual property rights, trade remedies and environmental commitments have become central to economic policymaking. International trade law and domestic legal institutions together shape competitiveness, market access, investment flows and sustainable development outcomes. Technological innovations such as digital courts, artificial intelligence and digital governance systems are also reshaping legal and economic institutions. While technology can improve efficiency and accessibility, its benefits depend upon broader institutional conditions and may reproduce existing inequalities if issues of access and inclusion are not adequately addressed. This conference seeks to examine legal systems as institutions that simultaneously shape markets, governance, trade and access to justice, bringing together perspectives from law, economics, trade and public policy. Conference Focus The conference will bring together scholars, practitioners, policy-makers, trade experts and early-career researchers to examine: How legal systems shape economic and trade outcomes. The relationship between law, inequality and access to justice. Institutional barriers to effective legal redress. The role of legal and regulatory frameworks in economic and trade governance. The impact of international trade institutions and agreements on domestic policy. Emerging challenges in trade disputes, intellectual property and climate commitments. The impact of technological change on justice delivery and inclusion. Key Indicative Themes Access to Justice and Inequality Criminal Justice and Vulnerable Populations Economic Impact of Judicial Inefficiencies Labour Law and Economic Outcomes Competition and Regulatory Policy Trade Governance and Economic Law Trade Agreements and Dispute Settlement Anti-Dumping and Trade Remedies Intellectual Property and International Trade Climate Change and Trade Policy Legal Aid and Representation Alternative Dispute Resolution Legal Technology and Digital Justice Call for Papers The Centre for Law, Economics and Society and the Economic Policy Center invite papers in the following categories. Submission Categories Abstract: 300 words Academic Research Papers: 6,000–8,000 words Policy Papers: 3,000–5,000 words Empirical and Field Studies: 4,000–6,000 words Comparative Legal and Trade Studies: 4,000–6,000 words Indicative Themes Access to justice and inequality Criminal justice and vulnerable populations Economic impact of judicial inefficiencies Labour law and economic outcomes Competition and regulatory policy Trade governance and economic law Trade agreements and dispute settlement Anti-dumping and trade remedies Intellectual property and international trade Climate change and trade policy Legal aid and representation Alternative dispute resolution and dispute settlement Legal technology and digital justice Submission Details Authors are invited to submit a 300-word abstract by 15 September 2026 to info@cdpp.co.in with the subject line "Law Conference: Abstract Submission (Your Name)" Please introduce yourself on the email body and the theme of your paper.
