Understanding how firms interpret and respond to carbon price signals based on their strategic priorities is crucial for aligning climate policies with corporate financial and environmental objectives. By examining how carbon price signals can shape firms’ financial–environmental priorities, these findings offer actionable insights for designing policies that better balance profitability and sustainability in the low-carbon transition.
his paper studies the adoption of clean technology in an oligopolistic setting, focusing on carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the cement sector. Firms can choose between two technologies: a carbon-
intensive (“dirty”) technology and a low-carbon (“clean”) one.
Globally, the transport sector is the second-largest source of CO2 emissions, with private road transportation accounting for the majority of these emissions. In this study, we use a structural model and a novel dataset of the French new and used car markets to estimate the determinants of private car demand and price sensitivity. Our findings demonstrate that targeting low-income households is effective from both distributive and environmental perspectives.
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.
The world economy is not anymore a multipolar world, but clearly tends towards a bipolar one since the global trade war launched by Donald Trump with a major confrontation between US and China. For the future the four European scenarios presented are unequally likely or desirable.
To improve the management of the public water supply service in the city of Chennai, the French utility company Veolia provided to Chennai Metro Water technical assistance from 2002 to 2006, under the institutional support of an international donor, the World Bank.

Urban green spaces improve quality of life, but may reduce car space. We first propose a theoretical model to analyze this trade-off. Positive global willingness-to-pay (WTP) is observed for scenarios that improve biodiversity and air cooling with minimal loss of car space, while negative WTP arises when car space is greatly reduced without substantial environmental benefits.
