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.

Maria Eugenia SaninResearch FellowsSectoral PoliciesComments Off on 11th International Conference on Mobility Challenges

The 11th edition of the annual International Conference on Mobility Challenges brings together experts from academia and industry, pushing the frontier of challenges at the intersection of automotive, energy, and mobility sectors. We welcome internationally renowned speakers as well as participants from the three sponsoring chairs, along with specialists from a wide range of public and private sectors (economics, technical, business, finance). This diverse mix has consistently provided fertile ground for valuable insights, new connections, and fresh questions and ambitions.

Governance Arrangements for Local Sustainable Business Models: The Case of Local Energy Systems

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.

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.

PublicationsPublicationsResearch areaResearch FellowsSamuel KlebanerSectoral PoliciesComments Off on European Regulations for an Affordable Sustainable (Battery) Electric Vehicle

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.
