Der August 2026 war mit einer globalen Durchschnitts-Temperatur von 16,96 Grad Celsius der wärmste August seit Beginn des ERA5-Datensatzes. Auch die Meeresoberflächen-Temperaturen außerhalb der Polarregionen erreichten einen August-Rekord. West-Europa verzeichnete seinen bislang wärmsten Sommer. Besonders hohe Meeres-Temperaturen traten an Europas Atlantik-Küste und im westlichen Mittelmeer auf.

Informal initiatives have been launched in recent years to address broader military uses of AI and autonomy,
such as for target generation and decision support.
One such effort is the Netherlands and South Korea-led REAIM
(Responsible AI in the Military Domain).
REAIM has held three international summits since 2023 to promote awareness and international engagement,
each generating important outcome documents.

Karin Kneissl, Ex-Außenministerin Österreichs, lebt seit 2023 in einem 400-Seelen-Dorf in der Region Rjasan. Im Interview beschreibt sie: In russischen Dörfern fehlt fast die gesamte Generation zwischen 15 und 50. Verbreiteter Alkoholismus, Mütter, die Schnaps statt Essen kaufen. Staatlicher Druck auf Frauen, mehr Kinder zu bekommen. Sie zählt die Folgen einzeln auf – über dem Sofa hängt Putins Porträt. Weggehen? Für sie „eine dumme Frage".

Organizational Technology Ladders: Remote Work and Generative AI Adoption

Abstract: This study proposes that firms move along an "organizational technology ladder": adopting one technology transforms hiring and work processes and builds skills and organizational capital that change the cost of adopting subsequent technologies. I study how firms' adoption of remote work technology during the COVID-19 period shaped later uptake of generative AI. Using U.S. job-posting data and an instrumental-variables strategy based on predicted differences in labor-market pressure to offer remote work, I estimate that a 10 percentage point increase in remote hiring in 2021-2022 increases the share of job postings mentioning generative AI in 2023-2024 by 0.4 percentage points across firms and 0.7 percentage points across occupations within firms. I provide evidence on mechanisms consistent with a technology-ladder channel: remote work adoption shifts hiring toward technical and managerial capabilities that predict faster conversion of generative AI exposure into adoption. Firms with return-to-office mandates---interpreted as revealing low remote productivity---exhibit a substantially larger response of generative AI adoption to remote work, consistent with an organizational frictions channel.

Price Responses of Rwandan Tungsten Exports under Conflict Minerals Regulation
Haruka Nagamori, Kazuhiko Nishimura
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.08690 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.08690 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.08690
arXiv:2608.08690v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Section 1502 of the Dodd--Frank Act, enacted in 2010, requires U.S.-listed companies using tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries to disclose information on the minerals' origins. Concerns have been raised that the regulation may have induced a de facto embargo through avoidance of sourcing from the covered region. However, how the price responsiveness of mineral exports evolved under changing institutional and market conditions remains insufficiently understood. Since tungsten production in the covered region is concentrated almost entirely in Rwanda, this study examines the price responsiveness of Rwandan tungsten exports from January 2009 to December 2023.
Because missing export quantity data prevent continuous observation of export unit values, we apply the identification approach of Nakano and Nishimura (2025), combining monthly mirror trade data from UN Comtrade with exchange rates and a world average price. An importer fixed-effects model is estimated using export value as the dependent variable, with the sample divided into four periods according to changes in the institutional and market environment.
The results reveal substantial temporal variation in price responsiveness. A statistically significant negative price response is observed in Period 1 ($\eta=-20.814$, $p<0.01$), disappears in Period 2 ($\eta=1.814$, $p>0.10$), reappears in Period 3 ($\eta=-5.277$, $p<0.01$), and disappears again in Period 4 ($\eta=0.440$, $p>0.10$). Coefficient-difference tests confirm significant changes between Periods 1 and 2 ($p=0.0021$) and between Periods 3 and 4 ($p=0.0006$). These findings suggest that the price responsiveness of Rwandan tungsten exports varied substantially over time rather than following a uniform trajectory after the regulation.

"PublicSquare, the MAGA-branded marketplace that launched with Donald Trump Jr. chanting "USA, USA" on the New York Stock Exchange floor in 2023, has all but collapsed, and the president's eldest son cashed fat checks the entire way down. [I]ts stock has cratered a jaw-dropping 99%. The New York Stock Exchange has also warned it may delist the company because of its poor performance."
