This paper investigates the impact of electrification on household practices related to deforestation in Côte d’Ivoire, specifically focusing on the expansion of arable farms and the use of biomass fuels.
Looking at the relationship between electrification and the expansion of arable farms inspired by Angelsen and studying data from the latest four waves of the household Living Standards Measurement Surveys (1998, 2002, 2008, and 2015), we find that increased access to electricity significantly reduces both the average size of arable farms and the collection of firewood from forests.
Chaque année, le CEPII publie dans la collection » Repères » des analyses inédites des grandes questions économiques mondiales. L’économie mondiale tourne peut-être la page de la Covid-19 ainsi que celle de l’inflation, mais va devoir apprendre à se relever de chocs d’offre, de la géopolitique au climat, appelés à se multiplier, et à naviguer dans un environnement où la sécurité économique redessine le cadre des échanges internationaux. En Europe, en Chine et dans le reste du monde.
Alors que notre époque est marquée par l’urgence climatique, la transition écologique peine à s’enclencher. L’ouvrage plaide pour concerter la transition écologique et engager l’ensemble de la société dans la construction d’un avenir commun. Semblable à un processus constituant, ce changement d’approche vise à construire un nouveau contrat écologique, un compromis de société qui décloisonne les questions sociales, économiques et écologiques.

How the increased trade openness and correspondingly higher marginal propensity to
import explains the lower efficiency of economic policy in the context of economic openness. Using an empirical stock-flow consistent model for the French economy (SFC FR), we analyze the macroeconomic impacts of these policies through a series of macroeconomic shocks.
The economic agent was previously assumed to be distinct from its environment and that nothing was forcing him to act on it. With the ecological crisis, every agent appears to be inserted into an environment, which he modifies in an irreversible way without even having decided to do so. This changes in depth the way in which economics can represent the agent and the optimal action: it is rationality itself that is modified in what we call « ecological rationality ».
We analyse the current and possible ways forward in this consideration of climate and biodiversity by finance, highlighting the extent to which they may either contribute to and/or suffer from those environmental changes.
Nos résultats montrent que le niveau de divulgation climatique influence positivement la performance financière mesurée par le Market to Book et le Q de Tobin. Toutefois, on constate des différences importantes selon les pays.
We examine the efficiency of a subsidy to cattle farmers for setting aside land for natural ecosystem regeneration. We develop a partial equilibrium model of the cattle sector that integrates land use, greenhouse gas emissions, and animal feeding. We identify conditions under which the subsidy is the best alternative to these other second-best policies.
