Economic policy efficiency and recovery in an open economy

2024
Auteurs :
Jacques Mazier, Luis Reyes, Chin Yuan Chong

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.

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.

Macroeconomic policy evaluation in an SFC econometric model: the case of the investment program for climate action in France

2024
Auteurs :
Chin Yuan Chong, Jacques Mazier, Luis Reyes

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.

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.

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.

Enjeux climatiques et gouvernance d’entreprise : Analyse des indices FTSE100, HDAX et SBF120

2023
Auteurs :
Cécile Cézanne, Yves Kassi, Sandra Rigot

Cet article analyse l’intégration des enjeux climatiques dans la gouvernance d’entreprise. À partir des données 2019 de l’enquête CDP, il montre que les sociétés du FTSE100, de l’HDAX et du SBF120, et mobilisent des dispositifs de contrôle et d’incitation similaires pour garantir la transparence de l’information climatique malgré quelques spécificités liées à leurs environnements...
