It shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate housing consumption may decrease, which reduces emissions from residential energy use. A numerical model is used to evaluate whether total GHG emissions may be lower under building height restrictions. Welfare is not concave in the strictness of building height limits, so either no limit or a very strict one (depending on the strength of the externality) might maximize welfare. The paper discusses several extensions, such as congestion, endogenous transport mode choice, migration, and urban heat island effect. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

However, enterprises, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) also face miscellaneous challenges in open innovation practice, leading to uncertainty and even renunciation of open innovation project participation. Thus, it is essential for SMEs to find the right balance between possible positive effects and negative consequences - the latter being the less studied "dark sides" of open innovation. However, appropriate methods of finding this balance are still lacking. In this article, we discuss the assessment of open innovation project participation by presenting a weighing and decision process framework as a conceivable solution approach. The framework includes an internal, external, and integrated analysis as well as a recommendation and decision phase. Piece by piece, we investigate the current situation and the innovation goals of the enterprise as an initial point for a decision for or against engaging in open innovation. Furthermore, we discuss the development of a software tool that automatically applies this framework and allows self-assessment by SMEs.}, language = {en} } @article{KlegerWiddau2016, author = {Kleger, Heinz and Widdau, Christoph Sebastian}, title = {Vom Weltethos zur Zivilreligion des Weltb{\"u}rgers}, series = {WeltTrends : das außenpolitische Journal [24 (2016), 120]}, volume = {24}, journal = {WeltTrends : das außenpolitische Journal [24 (2016), 120]}, number = {120}, publisher = {WeltTrends}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-945878-29-3}, pages = {48 -- 52}, year = {2016}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Winckler2016, author = {Winckler, Konrad}, title = {Unternehmer in den politischen Theorien der B{\"u}rgerschaft}, series = {Region Nation Europa ; 79}, journal = {Region Nation Europa ; 79}, publisher = {LIT}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-643-13404-2}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {372}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Ist Unternehmensethik nach angloamerikanischem Vorbild die Antwort auf die Herausforderungen des 21.

The SRAC measurement approach is validated based on three empirical studies. Results of a representative German sample (Study 2) reveal that SRAC is predominantly negatively linked to consumer overconsumption dispositions. Exemplary, voluntary simplification and boycott intention may result in declining levels of indebtedness. Study 3 shows that psychosocial well-being is positively related to SRAC and overconsumption. However, a simplified lifestyle and a greater willingness to boycott are not necessarily associated with psychosocial well-being. This article provides insights for practitioners and policymakers to leverage existing SRAC values via "new" business models (sharing offers) or to influence the existing level of consciousness to effectively pave the way for solid progress in the sustainability movement.}, language = {en} } @article{VogelKroll2016, author = {Vogel, Dominik and Kroll, Alexander}, title = {The stability and change of psm-related values across time}, series = {International public management journal}, volume = {19}, journal = {International public management journal}, publisher = {J.
