Using Output-Based Allocations to Manage Volatility and Leakage in Pollution Markets

2017
Auteurs :
Guy Meunier, Juan-Pablo Montero and Jean-Pierre Ponssard

Output-based allocations (OBAs) are typically used in emission trading schemes to mitigate leakage in sectors at risk. Recent work has shown they may also help to stabilize prices in markets subject to supply and demand shocks. We extend previous work to simultaneously include both leakage and volatility.

Output-based allocations in pollution markets with uncertainty and self-selection

2017
Auteurs :
Guy Meunier, Juan-Pablo Montero, Jean-Pierre Ponssard.

The paper studies pollution permit markets in which a fraction of permits are allocated to firms based on their output. Output-based allocations, which are receiving increasing attention in the design of carbon markets around the world are shown to be optimal under demand and supply volatility despite the output distortions they may create. 

Debt and Investment in the Keen model: a Reappraisal of Modeling Minsky

2017
Auteurs :
Adrien Nguyen-Huu, Antonin Pottier.

We examine to which extent the Keen model (Keen 1995) is a faithful modelling of Minsky's Finance. We conclude that the Keen crisis has few Minskian flavours.

Global trends in metal consumption and supply element: the raw material–energy nexus

2017
Auteurs :
Cyril François, Gael Giraud, Fatma Rostom, Olivier Vidal

The consumption of mineral resources and energy has increased exponentially over the last 100 years. Further growth is expected until at least the middle of the 21st century. In order to meet this demand, more metals will have to be produced by 2050 than over the last 100 years, which raises questions about the...

2017
Auteurs :
Cahier de l'ILB réalisé avec Jean-Pierre Ponssard

Réalisé avec Jean-Pierre Ponssard, le Cahier de l'ILB est consacré à la mobilité durable. Il  aborde des sujets aussi divers que l'impact des restriction de conduite sur la pollution urbaine, l'intérêt du véhicules à hydrogène ou l'importance des régulations pour développer l'innovation en matière de mobilité.

Coupled Climate–Economy–Biosphere (CoCEB) model – Part 2: Combining deforestation control with carbon capture and storage technologies

2017
Auteurs :
Keroboto B. Z. Ogutu , Fabio D’Andrea, Michael Ghil

This study uses the global climate–economy–biosphere (CoCEB) model formulated in Part 1 to investigate economic aspects of deforestation control and carbon sequestration in forests, as well as the efficiency of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies as policy measures for climate change mitigation.

Comportement d’arrêt des individus naïfs et sophistiqués lorsqu’ils déforment les probabilités

2017
Auteurs :
Yu-Jui Huang, Adrien Nguyen-Huu, Xun Yu Zhou

L'article propose un formalisme pour répondre à la question suivante : quand un individu (agent, nation) met-il en œuvre une action binaire (par exemple, engager la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique, liquider son portefeuille, arrêter de fumer) si sa perception des risques est déformée ?

Common dynamical properties of business cycle fluctuations are studied in a sample of more than 100 countries that represent economic regions from all around the world.

Coupled Climate–Economy–Biosphere (CoCEB) model – Part 1: Abatement efficacy of low-carbon technologies

2017
Auteurs :
Keroboto B. Z. Ogutu, Fabio D'Andrea, Michael Ghil, Charles Nyandwi

The CoCEB model is used to evaluate hypotheses on the long-term effect of investment in emission abatement, and on the comparative efficacy of different approaches to abatement. While many studies in the literature treat abatement costs as an unproductive loss of income, we show that mitigation costs do slow down economic growth over the...
