European Regulations for an Affordable Sustainable (Battery) Electric Vehicle

2024
Auteurs :
Tommaso Pardi; Marc Alochet; Bernard Jullien; Samuel Klebaner

The publication aims at anwsering the following questions :

  • Why do we need a small, affordable, sustainable electric vehicle (ASEV)?
  • Why don't we have ASEV in Europe ?
  • What we can learn from other countries?
  • How to promote ASEV in Europe ?
  • And what would be the impact...

Wealth inequality and carbon inequality

2025
Auteurs :
Alpha Ly, Ablam Estel Apeti, Bao-We-Wal Bambe, Eyah Denise Edoh

This paper advances the issue about the richest people contributing disproportionately to the increase in CO2 emissions, and thus to global warming by providing robust econometric validity. The method aims at. examining the effect of wealth accumulation on carbon emissions. Our regression estimates support the hypothesis that wealth concentration significantly increases carbon...

Power constraints and firm-level total factor productivity in developing countries

2024
Auteurs :
Ablam Estel Apeti, Alpha Ly

We analyze the effects of power constraints on manufacturing firms’ TFPR. Statistically, the power constraints treatment variable is not random for the firms. Power constraints negatively and significantly affect firm-level TFPR. Average productivity 11% lower for exposed firms compared to unexposed firms. The acquisition of backup generators or investment in R&D mitigates this...

Electrification or deforestation? Evidence from household practices in Côte d’Ivoire

2024
Auteurs :
Alpha Ly, Raja Chakir, Anna Creti

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...

Climate change and biodiversity loss: new territories for financial authorities

2024
Auteurs :
Hugues Chenet

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.

L’impact des divulgations d’informations climatiques sur la performance financière des sociétés européennes

2024
Auteurs :
Samira Demaria, Sandra Rigot, Philippe Luu

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.

Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from the cattle sector: land-use regulation as an alternative to emissions pricing

2023
Auteurs :
Maxence Gérard, Stéphane De Cara, Guy Meunier

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.

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.

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.
