Long-term sustainability of zero-growth capitalism: activity, employment and unemployment according to different modes of income distribution

Jacques MazierMacro-economical and societal challengesPublicationsResearch areaResearch FellowsWorking papersComments Off on Long-term sustainability of zero-growth capitalism: activity, employment and unemployment according to different modes of income distribution

This paper studies the long-term consequences of a zero-growth regime on the evolution of employment and unemployment, depending on the assumptions we can make concerning the evolution of the working population, labor productivity and working hours. These consequences are examined through three scenarios. This leads us to conclude that the goal of full employment would be put under greater strain by demographic growth (if this were to persist), than by productivity gains (if these were to persist). Admittedly, a sufficiently rapid individual reduction in working hours can counter the negative effects on employment of these two trends combined. But productivity gains are the only way to keep per-capita wages constant.

Farah DoumitPublicationsResearch areaResearch FellowsSectoral PoliciesWorking papersComments Off on Governance Arrangements for Local Sustainable Business Models: The Case of Local Energy Systems

Despite extensive research on sustainable business models and the development of various tools to facilitate their implementation, barriers persist particularly concerning the governance of a local ecosystem of actors. We identify that a facilitating public policy framework combined with internal institutional, strategic and operational drivers linked to the governance of local ecosystems is crucial for the implementation of local sustainable business models.

Thesis – Overcoming the challenges of securing secondary resources in circular economy projects : The case of anaerobic digestion

Doctoral & master thesisFarah DoumitPublicationsResearch areaResearch FellowsSectoral PoliciesComments Off on Thesis – Overcoming the challenges of securing secondary resources in circular economy projects : The case of anaerobic digestion

This thesis mainly contributes to the literature on the circular economy by providing a strategic vision of the process of securing secondary resources in circular projects. The thesis also has managerial implications by offering insights into the governance mechanisms, territorial dynamics, and market arrangements that underpin successful circular economy initiatives.
