This paper examines whether green incentives embedded in executive compensation schemes are associated with a reorientation of firms’ innovative activities toward environmentally sustainable technologies. Overall, the findings suggest that executive green incentives are associated with the direction, and not merely the volume, of firms’ innovative activities, highlighting the role of internal governance mechanisms in...
This study tests if CMP by large firms are linked to higher financial performance.
Most CMP show no impact on Tobin’s Q, suggesting investor indifference to climate action.
Published in Transportation Research – nov 2026 – Part A: Policy and Practice – Volume 213 Feebates applied to new vehicles are widely used to reduce...
This study explores to what extent the implementation of managerial Climate Management Practices (CMP) adopted by large publicly traded firms is associated with Corporate Financial Performance (CFP), measured by Tobin’s Q. The results show that most CMP are not significantly linked to Tobin’s Q, implying that markets largely view them as neutral with respect...
This study investigates the relationship between distinct types of inequality and CO2 emissions using panel data on 156 countries from 1995 to 2020. These findings call for international cooperation and public policies aimed at a more equitable primary income distribution to achieve joint inequality and reduction of carbon emissions.
Autonomie et recharge, recyclage, dépendance à la Chine, impacts environnementaux et sociaux, durée de vie, prix... les véhicules électriques et en particulier leurs batteries soulèvent de nombreuses questions, avec parfois leur lot d'idées reçues et de désinformation.

Four in five people without access to electricity live in Sub-Saharan Africa, where mini-grids are seen as a key solution. Yet investment remains constrained by low and unpredictable demand, especially in fragile settings. We study electricity demand in North Kivu (Democratic Republic of Congo), using pre-grid census and survey data combined with six years...
Energy poverty is a multidimensional issue, as demonstrated by a comparison between two low-income countries, Bolivia (BOL) and Côte d’Ivoire (CIV), and a high-income European country, France (FRA). These three countries represent different stages of access and energy poverty. The findings highlight the importance of considering affordability in efforts to ensure universal energy access, to...
This study examines the impact of trade agreements and their specific provisions on the sustainability of marine fisheries resources.
Bioenergies from dedicated crops or wood have faced substantial criticisms due to their significant land requirements. Certain bioenergy pathways, such as biogas generated from crop residues, manure, or food waste, appear to be exempt from this criticism. However, these feedstocks are byproducts of agricultural activities that generate emissions not covered by current climate policies in...
