Prioritizing Profits Over Human Rights — Corporate Landlords Are Eroding Affordable Housing

How corporate landlords are eroding affordable housing — and prioritizing profits over human rights. One factor driving the housing crisis across the country is a shift away from publicly built housing toward large corporate-owned buildings where, as today’s guest Prof. Nemoy Lewis puts it, “housing is treated as a commodity, not a human right.” For many people living in Canada, housing has emerged as one of the most challenging issues. This is especially true in our largest cities, where financial stress plagues many households. Home ownership is widely out of reach and for renters, housing is scarce, expensive and precarious. In Toronto, Canada’s largest city, vacancy rates are at their lowest levels in nearly two decades and average rents have jumped nearly 10 per cent — the sharpe...

Black Families Are Being Squeezed Out Of Home Ownership In Metro Atlanta By Corporate Investors

I studied 1 million home sales in metro Atlanta and found that Black families are being squeezed out of homeownership by corporate investors. In the years since the Great Recession, when housing prices dramatically fell, Wall Street investors have been buying large numbers of single-family homes to use as rentals. As of 2022, big investment firms owned nearly 600,000 such properties nationwide. Critics say this practice drives up home prices and worsens the housing shortage, making it harder for families to afford to buy. Industry advocates dismiss such charges, arguing that large investment firms own a tiny fraction of single-family rental housing across the U.S. – less than 4% of the total. As a professor of public policy at Georgia Tech, I wanted to understand how this trend was affecti...

The Complicated World Of Tipping — Here’s How You Can Avoid Feeling Flustered Or Ripped Off

Tipping etiquette and norms are in flux − here’s how you can avoid feeling flustered or ripped off. Tipping has gotten more complicated – and awkward – in North America. The ever-growing list of situations in which you might be invited to tip includes buying a smoothie, paying an electrician, getting a beer from a flight attendant and making a political donation. Should you always tip when someone suggests it? If yes, how do you calculate the right amount? And if you don’t, are you being stingy? As marketing professors who specialize in customer interactions, we’re researching how digital payment technologies have changed how and when customers tip. Our research suggests that asking for tips before service and suggesting tip amounts that are too high can frustrate customers and be bad f...

It’s Time To Talk About How Patents Might Not Reward Inventions As They Are Meant To

Patents were meant to reward inventions. It’s time to talk about how they might not. For hundreds of years, we’ve been told patents help deliver big new inventions, such as life-saving drugs. They are meant to be a bargain between the inventor and the public: tell us how your invention works, and we’ll give you a fixed time – a patent protection period – in which you’re the only person who can make use of it. Such exclusive rights make it easier for inventors to profit from their investments in research and development, and in theory encourage innovation we wouldn’t get otherwise, which benefits us all. We’ve long had to accept this bargain on faith. But those core assumptions about patents are increasingly being subject to empirical testing, and – as we detail in a new podcast starting...
AI Helping Tackle The Threat To The Growing Wave Of Fraud

AI Helping Tackle The Threat To The Growing Wave Of Fraud

AI threatens to add to the growing wave of fraud but is also helping tackle it. There were 4.5 million reported incidents of fraud in the UK in 2021/22, up 25% on the year before. It is a growing problem which costs billions of pounds every year. The COVID pandemic and the cost of living crisis have created ideal conditions for fraudsters to exploit the vulnerability and desperation of many households and businesses. And with the use of AI increasing in general, we will likely see a further increase in new types of fraud and is probably contributing to the increased frequency of fraud we are seeing today. Already, the ability of AI to absorb personal data, such as emails, photographs, videos and voice recordings to imitate people is proving to be a new and unprecedented challenge. But...

Research Shows How Subtle Forms Of Sexism In Financial Services Led To Recent City Scandals

How subtle forms of sexism in financial services led to recent City scandals – what research shows. When I first worked in the City of London, a few years out of university, a company-appointed “style consultant” suggested I would be taken more seriously as a female professional if I wore more make-up and exchanged my trousers for skirt suits. At the time, I was under the naïve impression that workplace sexism was more or less a thing of the past. But I soon found out I was wrong and this conversation served as an early red flag. That was 20 years ago. And while the financial and professional service industries have changed for the better, they may not have changed enough. A parliamentary committee has been tasked with renewing an inquiry into sexism in the City of London following clai...

In The Era Of AI — How Can You Future-Proof Your Career?

How you can future-proof your career in the era of AI. Ever since the industrial revolution, people have feared that technology would take away their jobs. While some jobs and tasks have indeed been replaced by machines, others have emerged.

A recent poll found that more than half of people aged 18-24 are worried about AI and their careers. The fear that jobs might disappear or be replaced through automation is understandable.
