Les ménages des communes rurales (33% de la population) concentrent plus de 40 % des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES) des déplacements. Cela est dû au fait de l’importance de leurs mobilités locales, très fréquemment en voiture, tandis que les habitants des communes les plus densément peuplées se déplacent moins au quotidien bien qu’ils partent en voyage plus souvent et plus loin, majoritairement en avion.
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.
Le possible rejet du pacte vert aux élections européennes doit faire réfléchir à de nouvelles modalités de débattre et de décider du processus de la transition écologique, estime Jézabel Couppey-Soubeyran dans sa chronique pour Le Monde.
We study the macroeconomic impact of climate action policy that would allow France to reach its net zero objective by 2050. Contrary to the findings of a report commissioned by the French Prime Minister, our simulations show that these investments are likely to generate economic growth and reduce public debt.
The distribution of the footprint within a country is regularly computed using consumption data, and with the assumption that the footprint from a product category is proportional to the spending on that product. Here, we explore the limitations of this proportionality assumption.
