  • Consumer Organizations and Promotion of Sustainable Energy Consumption: Comparative Product Quality Testing and Its Impact
    Panel III, 04 – Wahnschafft/Huh Consumer Organizations and Promotion of Sustainable Energy Consumption: Comparative Product Quality Testing and its Impact Ralph WAHNSCHAFFT Energy Resources Section, United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and Pacific (UN-ESCAP), Bangkok, Thailand Kwisun HUH Department of Environmental Science & Engineering, Hanguk University of Foreign Studies, Seoul, Republic of Korea 1 - SYNOPSIS This paper reports selected preliminary results of an ongoing survey on consumer organizations. It analyzes comparative product quality testing and its potential impact on promotion of energy efficiency. 2 - ABSTRACT The paper provides an overview on consumer organizations in OECD and high income developing countries, in particular with regard to their consumer information activities. It focuses on a review of comparative product testing of selected electrical home appliances and on test reports in consumer interest magazines. The paper analyzes the relative weights allocated to the different product quality criteria, including energy efficiency. Based on the above the paper reflects on the role that consumer organizations can play in the promotion of “green consumerism” and sustainable energy consumption, in particular with regard to the residential sector. 3 - INTRODUCTION 3.1. Background and objectives Advancing commercialization of societies has brought with it the formation of a growing number of local and national consumer interest groups. Today, Consumers International, the largest federation of consumer organizations and agencies worldwide, counts 243 member organizations in over 110 countries (1). Individual organizations greatly differ in their membership and organization, their sources of financing and government sponsorship, their work methods, activities and relative political influence. However, enhancement of consumer protection and better consumer information are overall common objectives that unite the “consumer movement”.

  • The Economics of Online Crime
    Journal of Economic Perspectives—Volume 23, Number 3—Summer 2009—Pages 3–20 The Economics of Online Crime Tyler Moore, Richard Clayton, and Ross Anderson he economics of information security has recently become a thriving and fast-moving discipline. This field was kick-started in 2001 by the observa- T tion that poorly aligned incentives explain the failure of security systems at least as often as technical factors (Anderson, 2001). As distributed computing systems are assembled from machines controlled by principals with divergent interests, microeconomic analysis and game-theoretic analysis become just as im- portant for dependability as protocol analysis or cryptanalysis. The economic approach not only provides a more effective way of analyzing straightforward information-security problems such as privacy, spam, and phishing, but also gives insights to scholars of system dependability, conflict, and crime. An annual Work- shop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS) was established in 2002. The field now involves over 100 active researchers; the subject has drawn together security engineers, economists, and even lawyers and psychologists. For a survey of security economics in general, see Anderson and Moore (2006). This paper will focus on the subject of online crime, which has taken off as a serious industry since about 2004. Until then, much of the online nuisance came from amateur hackers who defaced websites and wrote malicious software in pursuit of bragging rights. In the old days, electronic fraud was largely a cottage y Tyler Moore is a Postdoctoral Fellow, Center for Research on Computation and Society (CRCS), Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

  • Fraud: Everything Old Is New Again Tough Times Bring out Tried & True Tricks from Fraudsters
    Fraud: Everything Old is New Again Tough Times Bring out Tried & True Tricks from Fraudsters I once heard a line on – of all places – sports talk radio, and it’s stuck with me through the years, especially during the past one. “Tough times don’t build character, they reveal it.” Well, there’s no question the past year has brought tough times to all Tom Field of us, and as for some of the fraudulent characters they’ve revealed? Editorial Director Whew! It seems like every tried-and-true fraud scheme is back these days with a vengeance, as criminals renew their efforts to deprive us of our financial and informational assets. The only difference: In- stead of focusing on only one fraud channel, criminals today tend to be attempting multiple entry points simultaneously. Everything old is new again, and it’s coming at you all at once! I trust you’ll enjoy the articles, interviews and opinion pieces we’ve collected here, and I welcome hearing from you after you’ve soaked in some of this information. What are the fraud schemes you’re seeing most this year? How are you educating your customers to avoid them? Where have you had success thwarting the fraudsters? The tough times will get better. Fraud, alas, won’t go away. We just have to make sure that we – like the criminals – get smarter, organized and educated. It’s going to be a long fight, but we can win it. Best, Tom Field Editorial Director, Information Security Media Group [email protected] Volume 1, Issue 5 IN THIS ISSUE..

Diverse in backgrounds and perspectives, Task Force members aim to reach a meaningful consensus on policy through private and nonpartisan deliberations. Once launched, Task Forces are independent of CFR and solely responsible for the content of their reports. Task Force members are asked to join a consensus signifying that they endorse “the general policy thrust and judgments reached by the group, though not necessarily every finding and recommendation.” Each Task Force member also has the option of putting forward an additional or a dissenting view. Members’ affiliations are listed for identification purposes only and do not imply institutional endorsement. Task Force observers participate in discussions, but are not asked to join the consensus.
