Les modèles IAMs et leurs limites

Cette note a pour but de présenter de manière synthétique les modèles mathématiques
utilisés aujourd’hui par la communauté des économistes du climat et leurs limites. Ces
modèles sont utilisés à la fois pour dimensionner les mesures à prendre pour limiter le
changement climatique et pour évaluer les impacts du changement climatique sur le système
économique et financier. 

Sustainable economic policies: exploring the effects of sustainability-linked money creation

This paper explores the potential contribution of Sustainability-linked Money Creation (SMC) to sustainable economic policies. Our simulations suggest that, in comparison to a baseline scenario, SMC issues could potentially constitute an anti-inflationary, counter-cyclical green transition policy, that increases biomimetic resilience and contains income and wealth inequalities. We finally discuss the policy implications, as well as the limitations of our findings.

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 of ASEV on decarbonisation, just transition and European industry competitiveness ?

Wealth inequality and carbon inequality

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 inequality and accounts for nearly 20% of the CO2 emissions of the richest people.
