Looking for solutions to some of the world's biggest problems like poverty, environmental sustainability, and agricultural struggles in developing regions can be absolutely mind-bending. There are so many factors to consider that the sheer scope is overwhelming, and maybe that's why it's so hard to solve these kinds of issues. Sometimes it's better to boil things down as much as you can and come up with a model that is applicable to both small- and large-scale problems.
A new paper by Andrew Bell, an assistant professor at Boston University College of Arts & Sciences and economics research, argues that perhaps a video game has some of the answers we're so desperate to obtain. The game? Mario Kart. I know what you're thinking, but it's actually not nearly as silly as it sounds.
