La transition écologique a besoin de démocratie plus que de technocratie

Auteurs :
Jézabel Couppey-Soubeyran

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.

Leaving the hearth you know: Internal migration and energy poverty

2024
Auteurs :
Johanna Choumert-Nkolo, Leonard le Roux

We document the relationship between rural–urban migration and energy poverty in South Africa. Our findings show that migrants to urban areas experience significant reductions in energy poverty, particularly in the use of traditional cooking fuels. Our study also explores energy poverty outcomes for both sending and receiving households, gender differences among migrants, and other amenities.

Challenges in measuring the distribution of carbon footprints: The role of product and price heterogeneity

2024
Auteurs :
Mathias André, Alexandre Bourgeois, Emmanuel Combet, Matthieu Lequien, Antonin Pottier

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.

Unravelling the Narratives of the Climate Finance

2024
Auteurs :
Hugues Chenet, Soline Ralite

Since the early 2000s, the public debate has gradually filled with normative proposals aimed at tackling the two-way climate finance challenge (how finance impacts climate stability and how finance can be impacted by climate change) – the “climate finance agenda”. Yet, although parts of this agenda are already discussed by the literature, scholars still...

Pricing Congestion to Increase Traffic: The Case of Bogotá

2024
Auteurs :
Juan-Pablo Montero, Felipe Sepúlveda, Leonardo J. Basso

In September 2020, the city of Bogotá introduced a major market-based reform to its odd-even driving restriction. The big winners of the reform are middle-income individuals who now use their cars more often, whereas the big losers are high-income individuals who now spend more time in traffic.

Sectoral Cost-Benefit Analysis for Clean Technology Demonstrators: Insights for Decarbonizing Hard-to-Abate Industries

2025
Auteurs :
Maryam Sadighi, Jean-Pierre Ponssard, Maria Eugenia Sanin, Murès Zarea, Elodie Le Cadre Loret

Adopting disruptive technologies for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industrial sectors requires experimentation through demonstration (pilot) projects. However, from an economic perspective, the potential long-term benefits and the difficulties in designing relevant public policies are not addressed in the standard valuations of those projects.

Emerging consensus on net energy paves the way for improved integrated assessment modeling

2023
Auteurs :
Louis Delannoy, Matthieu Auzanneau, Baptiste Andrieu, Olivier Vidal, Pierre-Yves Longaretti, Emmanuel Prados, David J. Murphy, Roger W. Bentley, Michael Carbajales-Dale, Marco Raugei, Mikael Höök, Victor Court, Carey W. King, Florian Fizaine, Pierre Jacques, Matthew Kuperus Heun, Andrew Jackson, Charles Guay-Boutet, Emmanuel Aramendia, Jianliang Wang, Hugo Le Boulzec, Charles A.S. Hall

Extracting, processing, and delivering energy requires energy itself, which reduces the net energy available to society and yields considerable socioeconomic implications. Yet, most mitigation pathways and transition models overlook net energy feedbacks.

Conventional and unconventional economic policies in an econometric SFC model of the French economy

2024
Auteurs :
Jacques Mazier, Luis Reyes

The 2008 and Covid crises have led to increasing public debts and to the launching of unconventional economic policies. Thanks to a complete description of the balance sheets of the domestic and foreign agents, stock-flow consistent (SFC) modelling was well equipped to evaluate their economic consequences. 

Inflation and how to deal with it in France. A policy perspective from an empirical stock-flow model

2023
Auteurs :
Jacques Mazier, Luis Reyes, Chin Yuan Chong

Using an empirical stock-flow consistent (SFC) model for the French economy, we simulate an imported inflationary shock to emulate the current inflation situation and analyze the resulting macroeconomic impacts on the French economy. Two possible responses are considered: increased wage per capita so as to preserve workers’ purchasing power, increased margins by firms in order to restore their...
