Investors can achieve their long-term objectives while incorporating preferences for sustainability.
Within the field of Responsible Investing (RI), the prevailing investor question is: “Do my preferences for sustainability sacrifice investment returns?” A growing body of evidence points to this not being the case. However, it is dependent on the approach taken by the investor. An investor who follows an approach that integrates Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) data into the investment decision process can enhance a portfolio’s risk-return profile.

The Economic Situation, September 2023
With just three months to go before 2023’s books close, recession bloodhounds are still sniffing for the scent of the much-expected Fedinduced severe economic slowdown. We’ve heard much howling, but thankfully, recession predictions of negative growth in this year’s latter half have so far proved wrong. The outlook turned more optimistic when the Commerce Department’s first-quarter estimate of 1.3 percent real GDP growth was revised upward significantly in June to 2.0 percent.

Today's Challenges, Tomorrow's Regulatory Reform
U.S. regulators have taken first steps toward allowing more baby formula into the country, but shelves remain bare, President Biden’s grasps for solutions, and the FDA’s web of regulations still leaves too many families scrambling to feed their children. After another crisis, few now deny that excessive regulatory caution and clutter can harm Americans. To get a better handle on the situation, we must start with more innovative ways to measure our policies.

By Patrick McLaughlin & Susannah Barnes June 16, 2022 U.S. regulators have taken first steps toward allowing more baby formula into the country, but shelves remain bare, President Biden’s grasps for solutions, and the FDA’s web of regulations still leaves too many families scrambling to feed their children.

Fiorentina earn an all-important three points against Juventus
Fiorentina earned the win they needed to secure a return to European football, beating Juventus by the 2-0 scoreline. The Old Lady had nothing to play for other than performing for their fans, while the home side still had to win to make sure of their place in Europe for the new season. Despite the lack of incentive on our side, our team seemed fired up, and that led to a fiery encounter for much of the first-half.
Video: Fiorentina claim first blood against Juve just before the break
Fiorentina have struck before the half-time whistle to leave Juventus 1-0 down going into the break. It was an even half all-things considered, in what has turned into quite a physical battle with both sides wanting to secure one last win this season. It is the home side who managed to finally break the deadlock however with a neat strike by Duncan, meaning that we will now have to chase the game in the coming 45 minutes.

Biden should double down on Trump’s policy of promoting AI within government
President Biden is signing a flurry of executive actions during his first few weeks in office, many of them overturning Trump policies. Trump’s recent executive order on promoting the use of artificial intelligence in government agencies, however, presents a rare bipartisan sentiment and promises to improve government policies and services across the board. The current administration should not only maintain this policy, it should make it a priority.

Will Coronavirus Push Policymakers to Change the Regulations Paradigm?
U.S. regulators and global health organizations have grown more accommodating toward emerging tech aimed at combating the coronavirus than they were earlier this year. Several vaccine candidates have entered final trials, with more competitors on the way.

(Lawrence Bryant/Reuters) Thinking long-term about an economic fix Up until now, federal interventions to mitigate the damage of the coronavirus pandemic, such as the March $2.2 trillion relief package and the executive order recently issued by President Trump in the absence of congressional action, have been short-term in nature.

OPINION: Economic recovery after a pandemic - the case for small business exemptions
By Patrick A. McLaughlin and Tyler Richards It's no secret that small businesses are struggling in this COVID-19 world.

Efforts are underway to try to keep these businesses from going under, though these efforts are running into significant problems.

USDA-Approved Whole-Wheat Bread Package Size is Now More Common and Less Costly for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for WIC

The Cumulative Cost of Regulations
Author Abstract We estimate the effects of federal regulation on the value added to GDP for a panel of 22 industries in the United States over a period of 35 years (1977–2012). The structure of our linear specification is explicitly derived from the closed-form solutions of a multisector Schumpeterian model of endogenous growth. We allow regulation to enter the specification in a fairly flexible manner.
Red tape report card: Study shows modest but encouraging progress in reducing regulations across Canada
By Laura Jones and Patrick A. McLaughlin Rules matter in society. They provide guardrails to protect property rights, market exchanges and the environment. They can be useful to promote better health and protect us from harm. What gets regulated and what doesn’t can say a lot about who we are. Gun regulations are much stricter in Canada than the United States. To use a more extreme example, in Saudi Arabia women were only recently legally allowed to drive. How many rules we have says a lot, too.
Government Regulation: New Numerical Measure Ranks States
California State Capitol in Sacramento (Pixabay) Information technology provides ways to measure numerically how much regulation each state has imposed. Last week, President Trump signed two executive orders targeting unnecessary red tape, part of a broader effort in his administration to rein in excessive regulations. Early in his presidency, for example, Trump made headlines with a very ambitious claim that his administration would cut regulations by 75 percent.
Ranking the States by Regulation
Last week, President Trump signed two executive orders targeting unnecessary red tape, part of a broader effort in his administration to rein in excessive regulations. Early in his presidency, for example, Trump made headlines with a very ambitious claim that his administration would cut regulations by 75 percent. The statement may have been hyperbole — intended more to signal a desire to reduce burdens on business than an actual goal — but it nonetheless raises interesting questions.
