The Given

This paper tries to seek out the correlation between renewable energy use, real GDP, and HDI in addition to trade openness, urbanization, and environmental aspects in the case of Bangladesh during the phase of 1990-2015. In persuasion of the objective, time-series data of the given period is analyzed by means of the 2SLS approach. We also apply the VECM Granger causality technique in order to find the underlying relationship between the given variables. Findings of the study suggest that real GDP, CO2 emissions, and use of renewable energy have positive consequences on the human development index while trade liberalization and urbanization have insignificant impacts on it. The study finds renewable energy use improves human development processes. Therefore, the government should emphasize on renewable energy production and the use of renewable energy.

Do So

Based on the theory of social change, cultural evolution, and human development, we propose a mechanism whereby increased danger in society causes predictable shifts in valued forms of intelligence: 1. Practical intelligence rises in value relative to abstract intelligence; and 2. social intelligence shifts from measuring how well individuals can negotiate the social world to achieve their personal aims to measuring how well they can do so to achieve group aims. We document these shifts during the COVID-19 pandemic and argue that they led to an increase in the size and strength of social movements.

AbstractEvolved dispositions influence, but do not determine, how people think about economic problems. The evolutionary cognitive approach offers important insights but underweights the social transmission of ideas as a level of explanation. The need for asocialexplanation for the evolution of economic attitudes is evidenced, for example, by immense variations in folk-economic beliefs over time and across individuals.

Abstract The authors do the field of cultural evolution a service by exploring the role of non-social cognition in human cumulative technological culture, truly neglected in comparison with socio-cognitive abilities frequently assumed to be the primary drivers. Some specifics of their delineation of the critical factors are problematic, however. I highlight recent chimpanzee–human comparative findings that should help refine such analyses.
