This study examines the impact of climate aid on deforestation in Africa from 2001 to 2021, using a novel dataset of geocoded aid projects. The effects are heterogeneous and vary by initial forest cover: aid increases deforestation in densely forested areas, while it appears to reduce deforestation where forest cover was initially sparse.
We study the relationship between culture and environmental conservation through the lens of deforestation. Focusing on Sub-Saharan Africa over the period 2001-2021, we show that changes of national leaders affect deforestation in a way that depends on the environmental culture of their ethnic group’s. Our results suggest that culture is an important lever for environmental conservation in Africa.
This article analyses the role that central banks could play in dealing with stranded "brown"assets as a result of the ecological transition.The estimates provided thtough a database that we are building for the analyses suggest that central banks, as "liquidators of last resort" of stranded asset markets, would inject volumes of liquidity comparable to those they injected to deal with previous crises.
La crise climatique est source de risques financiers désormais reconnus comme porteurs d’incertitudes multiples, et susceptibles de détériorer l’équilibre du système comme celui de ses acteurs.
Ce séminaire sera l’occasion d’aborder plusieurs questions stratégiques soulevées par les risques climatiques tant pour les banques que pour les autorités de tutelle.

La question de la dette publique française est au cœur des débats depuis de nombreuses années et donne lieu à des affirmations alarmistes dont la plus connue est celle de François Fillon en 2007. Il est utile de poser les termes de ce débat, en précisant ce que recouvre la dette publique, les causes de son évolution et les politiques permettant de gérer celle-ci.

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.
