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.
Si les États-Unis sont apparus comme la puissance mondiale dominante depuis la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, c’est non seulement en raison de leur puissance...
Understanding how firms interpret and respond to carbon price signals based on their strategic priorities is crucial for aligning climate policies with corporate financial and environmental objectives. By examining how carbon price signals can shape firms’ financial–environmental priorities, these findings offer actionable insights for designing policies that better balance profitability and sustainability in the...
his paper studies the adoption of clean technology in an oligopolistic setting, focusing on carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the cement sector. Firms can choose between two technologies: a carbon- intensive ("dirty") technology and a low-carbon ("clean") one.
Globally, the transport sector is the second-largest source of CO2 emissions, with private road transportation accounting for the majority of these emissions. In this study, we use a structural model and a novel dataset of the French new and used car markets to estimate the determinants of private car demand and price sensitivity. Our findings...
The world economy is not anymore a multipolar world, but clearly tends towards a bipolar one since the global trade war launched by Donald Trump with a major confrontation between US and China. For the future the four European scenarios presented are unequally likely or desirable.

Urban green spaces improve quality of life, but may reduce car space. We first propose a theoretical model to analyze this trade-off. Positive global willingness-to-pay (WTP) is observed for scenarios that improve biodiversity and air cooling with minimal loss of car space, while negative WTP arises when car space is greatly reduced without substantial...
