While the sources of the raw materials we use are mostly well documented, the dependencies from the point of the user are often less well known. For the case of phosphorus there is for example an apparent gap in the dis-aggragted material flows analysis before the creation of bio-mass. In our updated working paper (together with Martin Bertau and Gerald Steiner) we suggest how trade data can be used to overcome this deficiency and we map the flows of phosphate globally
linkIn this project we will investigate the dynamics of diversity on corporate boards. We want to study which determinants influence appointments to corporate boards. Further we will investigate if and how the composition of the board influences governance. In particular we want to find out if (and how) diversity might influence profitability as well as strategies towards sustainability and corporate responsibility. The project is funded by the Austrian Science Fund.
