The concept of micro-retirement taking extended time off work to recharge is gaining traction with Gen Z and millenial workers. The trend is largely driven by a desire for better work-life balance. Maeve Toohey, PHD reasearcher and Lecturer at Univeristy of Limerick's Kemmy Business School.

Drivers of electric vehicles (EVs) are more likely to be involved in at-fault road traffic accidents than drivers of petrol and diesel cars, a study by researchers at Lero, the Research Ireland Centre for Software, and University of Limerick reveals. In a paper to be published in November in the journal Accident Analysis & Prevention, the Lero researchers analysed insurance claims and data from onboard sensors and revealed a number of key findings: Electric and hybrid drivers exhibit different behaviours than drivers of traditional vehicles. Electric vehicles record more at-fault claims than traditional vehicles. Electric vehicles are 6.7% more expensive to repair than traditional vehicles. Lero researcher and co-director of the Centre of Emerging Risk Studies at the Kemmy Business School, Dr Barry Sheehan, said EV drivers have a higher chance of experiencing an at-fault claim than drivers of cars with internal combustion engines (ICE). "Our research finds that despite their lower average mileage than internal combustion engines, lower road exposure for EV drivers does not reduce their risk of experiencing an at-fault insurance claim. When analysing at-fault claims, we find a 4 % increase in crashes from EVs and a 6 % increase for hybrids (HYBs) compared to internal combustion engines. "However, when tested with statistical models, hybrids do not display any further concerns of increased at-fault claim risk. These results indicate that EVs have a higher risk profile than traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. "Our research shows drivers' driving behaviour changes significantly when switching to hybrids or EVs. These results mean EVs are more likely to experience an at-fault claim than internal combustion engines," added Dr Sheehan, Associate Professor in Risk and Finance at UL. Lero researcher and lead author Kevin McDonnell said their analysis of each fuel type shows that EVs and hybrids have lower average mileages than internal combustion engines. "This suggests that internal combustion engines should have a higher probability of incurring an at-fault claim than alternate energy fuel-type vehicles. However, the claims data contradicts this assumption by providing evidence of increased at-fault claim occurrences in EVs through predictive modelling and risk analysis," he added. Lero's Professor Finbarr Murphy, Executive Dean of the Kemmy Business School at UL and co-author, said that, given the increased likelihood of incurring an at-fault insurance claim with less mileage, significant first-party damages, and battery costs, alternative energy vehicles are riskier and have a higher financial burden than petrol and diesel cars. The study used telematic data from 125 million commercial fleet vehicle trips involving 14,642 vehicles recorded from January 2022 to October 2022 in the Netherlands. It also used an insurance claims dataset during the same period. Lero, the Research Ireland Centre for Software, is based at University of Limerick and funded by Taighde Éireann - Research Ireland, formerly Science Foundation Ireland. The paper is co-authored by Lero and UL's Kevin McDonnell, Dr Barry Sheehan and Professor Finbarr Murphy, as well as Professor Montserrat Guillen of Universitat de Barcelona and is available to read in full at: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0001457524003063?via%3Dihub.

Image details (L to R, Nick Ashmore, Director, Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, Jenny Melia, Executive Director, Enterprise Ireland, Martina Fitzgerald, CEO, Scale Ireland, Adaire Fox-Martin, Head, Google Ireland and President, Google Cloud and Brian Caulfield, Chair, Scale Ireland). Scale Ireland, with the support of Google, and also Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF), Enterprise Ireland and Atlantic Bridge, has announced plans to host Ireland's third Regional Start-up Summit in Limerick next month. The event will be officially launched by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Simon Coveney. StartUp Summit in Limerick, February 2024 The event will feature a wide range of regional-based start-ups and scaling companies (including Kneat, Provizio, SwiftComply, HookeBio, Yellow Schedule etc.). The Summit will focus on the potential and the challenges facing start-ups and scaling companies around the country. There are currently more than 2,000 indigenous tech start-up and scaling companies, employing more than 45,000 people in Ireland. For each job in a start-up, five more are created in the wider economy. Ahead of the Summit, Scale Ireland in conjunction with Google, Enterprise Ireland, ISIF and Atlantic Bridge have launched the third State of Start-ups Survey 2024 (here) to get the views of founders and CEOs on the key issues affecting them and the overall state of the sector. These include the availability of capital, potential of AI, staffing and skills, as well as the effectiveness of key state supports and regulations. Almost 250 CEOs/Founders responded to last year's survey - one of the biggest of its kind for the sector. This year's survey also focuses on other issues including student internships, greater diversity in the sector, and increasing awareness of sustainability. Scale Ireland will publish the survey results to coincide with the Regional Start-up Summit next month. Scale Ireland is collaborating on the Summit with Dr Briga Hynes, Associate Professor and Entrepreneurship Lead, the Kemmy Business School, and Professor Stephen Kinsella, Professor of Economics and Co Director of the innovative Immersive Software Engineering Programme, University of Limerick. The CEO of Scale Ireland, Martina Fitzgerald, said "Our third Regional Start-up Summit comes at a time when the Government's ambition is to position Ireland as a global innovation leader. So this is an important opportunity for tech leaders around the country to debate the significant opportunities of Ireland's indigenous tech sector to our economic future - a conversation which is of growing importance. Our State of Start-ups survey will provide us with vital information on the key issues and opportunities facing founders. The Chair of Scale Ireland, Brian Caulfield, stated "It is critical that we get the feedback of founders across the country on the key issues and challenges that they are facing at this important juncture. Our Regional Start-up Summit and State of Start-up Survey will ensure that there is a greater understanding of the potential of the sector, as well as the challenges facing entrepreneurs. Given the current environment, this year we have also included questions on current issues such as AI, while access to capital is expected to remain a key concern alongside the rising cost of doing business". Adaire Fox-Martin, Head of Google Ireland and President of Google Cloud, said "We are delighted to partner with Scale Ireland for the third Regional Start-up Summit in Limerick. Google has a strong and proud record of supporting Irish tech start-ups and scaling companies, as well as the wider indigenous tech sector. Scale Ireland's Regional Summit is an important opportunity to promote dynamic companies across the country which are contributing so much to their communities through employment, innovation and growth. It is equally important for Google to support the ambition of these companies to become global leaders. So the Re...

When is the last time you paid for something in cash? Have you, like us, had the same €20 in your pocket for four months? The pandemic has made Ireland -- and every other country -- into largely cashless societies. From Apple Pay on your watch to Revolut on your phone, cash has faded away in daily life. So why aren't we talking about the obvious next step: ditching bits of paper and scraggly coins altogether? This is what Adrian discusses with this week's guest, Stephen Kinsella, Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Limerick's Kemmy Business School and a columnist with The Currency. Which are the better arguments? That it could mean less violent crime, less tax evasion and quicker queues? Or that it could lead to a further erosion of privacy and may unfairly disadvantage vulnerable groups in society? The two go into the topic in depth.

During this Original Thinking Podcast a panel of industry experts will discuss both the positive and negative aspects of home and remote working that COVID-19 has highlighted. The COVID-19 crisis has thrown light on both the positive and negative aspects of home and remote working. On the one hand workers have shown great resilience and resourcefulness in adapting to the challenges, demonstrating their commitment in the industries and sectors where it has been possible to do so. Indeed, as technology increasingly enables remote working, some employers are now considering a longer or even permanent shift to homeworking. But is homeworking, and new forms of remote employment, the great panacea that some now think it is? And, if so, how can it be sustainable? Ongoing research at the Work & Equalities Institute at Alliance Manchester Business School suggests that remote working can be stressful, lead to greater work precarity and casualisation, and be fraught with ethical and equity challenges for HR professionals. At this webinar Professor Tony Dundon from Kemmy Business School and Alliance Manchester Business School will be joined by Jonny Gifford, Senior Advisor for Organisational Behaviour at the CIPD, and Natasha Owusu, Policy & Campaigns Support Officer for Equalities at the TUC, to debate this most pressing issue of our time. Hosted by Jim Pendrill, AMBS' Research Communications Lead.

In this episode, I am joined by Prof. Stephen Kinsella of the Kemmy Business School at the University of Limerick. Stephen has turned his hand to many topics, most notably applying novel method to the task of understanding the macroeconomy.It has been said that the economic crisis was a crisis for macroeconomics. We probe elements of this statement in this episode. We begin by discussing what economists mean by macroeconomics and the history of macroeconomic model development. We discuss some of the simplifications required given technical constraints and how these have been gradually overcome as technology has developed. We discuss some of the novel approaches taken by Stephen and his team in an effort to further develop this field.We discuss the importance of thinking about globalisation from different perspectives - geographers, anthropologists and political scientists have important things to say about the macroeconomy. This is an especially pertinent field of enquiry given the current political climate. We wrap up by discussing the importance of interpersonal linkages in understanding economic impacts - how important are personal relationships and interactions in determining economic performance?Thank you to Stephen for offering his time.And thank you to everyone who has sent good wishes and provided such overwhelmingly positive feedback over the past few weeks.
