Zhongmin Wang: In a new RFF discussion paper, “ Egregiousness and Boycott intensity: Evidence from the BP Deepwater Horizon Spill ,” we also explore the relationship between boycott intensity and media coverage, due to the latter’s ability to influence consumer awareness about egregious events. Using our market-level model, we determined an area’s boycott intensity by measuring decreases in BP brand’s market share across 257 US counties.

Plastics are a nearly unavoidable part of our lives. From alarm clocks to toothbrushes to soda bottles to cell phones, we all use and throw away plastic products everyday. One of the most common types of plastic waste is disposable water bottles: we use them at home, carry them to the gym, or grab one when we’re on the go. In fact, every year Americans throw away 29 billion disposable plastic water bottles, only around 23% of which are recycled.

As Al-Akbhar reports, Lebanon considers Israel to be an “enemy state,” and the Lebanese Boycott Law passed in 1955 prohibits Lebanese from having anything at all to do with Israelis, and that includes any kind of direct or indirect contact. Regardless of whether or not we may think this boycott is warranted, it’s there, which means that non-political actors such as artists and designers are prevented from cross-cultural dialogue, and that’s a tragedy.
