Un nouveau contrat écologique

Alors que notre époque est marquée par l’urgence climatique, la transition écologique peine à s’enclencher. L’ouvrage plaide pour concerter la transition écologique et engager l'ensemble de la société dans la construction d’un avenir commun. Semblable à un processus constituant, ce changement d’approche vise à construire un nouveau contrat écologique, un compromis de société qui décloisonne les questions sociales, économiques et écologiques.

Functionalism in ecology and economics: Epistemological affinities and temptations

Hadrien LantremangeMacro-economical and societal challengesPublicationsPublicationsResearch areaResearch FellowsComments Off on Functionalism in ecology and economics: Epistemological affinities and temptations

This article reviews the epistemological debates about functionalism in ecology. While identifying current area of scientific validity, t emphasizes, in particular, that functionalism depends on the system examined and remains inapplicable wherever singularity prevails. 

Economic policy efficiency and recovery in an open economy

How the increased trade openness and correspondingly higher marginal propensity to
import explains the lower efficiency of economic policy in the context of economic openness. Using an empirical stock-flow consistent model for the French economy (SFC FR), we analyze the macroeconomic impacts of these policies through a series of macroeconomic shocks.

Economic rationality, ecological rationality and the orientation issue

The economic agent was previously assumed to be distinct from its environment and that nothing was forcing him to act on it. With the ecological crisis, every agent appears to be inserted into an environment, which he modifies in an irreversible way without even having decided to do so. This changes in depth the way in which economics can represent the agent and the optimal action: it is rationality itself that is modified in what we call "ecological rationality".

Climate change and biodiversity loss: new territories for financial authorities

Financial regulation and innovative financingHugues ChenetPublicationsPublicationsResearch FellowsComments Off on Climate change and biodiversity loss: new territories for financial authorities

We analyse the current and possible ways forward in this consideration of climate and biodiversity by finance, highlighting the extent to which they may either contribute to and/or suffer from those environmental changes.

Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from the cattle sector: land-use regulation as an alternative to emissions pricing

Guy MeunierMaxence GérardPublicationsPublicationsResearch areaResearch FellowsSectoral PoliciesComments Off on Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from the cattle sector: land-use regulation as an alternative to emissions pricing

We examine the efficiency of a subsidy to cattle farmers for setting aside land for natural ecosystem regeneration. We develop a partial equilibrium model of the cattle sector that integrates land use, greenhouse gas emissions, and animal feeding. We identify conditions under which the subsidy is the best alternative to these other second-best policies.

Macroeconomic policy evaluation in an SFC econometric model: the case of the investment program for climate action in France

Jacques MazierMacro-economical and societal challengesPublicationsPublicationsResearch areaResearch FellowsComments Off on Macroeconomic policy evaluation in an SFC econometric model: the case of the investment program for climate action in France

We study the macroeconomic impact of climate action policy that would allow France to reach its net zero objective by 2050. Contrary to the findings of a report commissioned by the French Prime Minister, our simulations show that these investments are likely to generate economic growth and reduce public debt.

Leaving the hearth you know: Internal migration and energy poverty

We document the relationship between rural–urban migration and energy poverty in South Africa. Our findings show that migrants to urban areas experience significant reductions in energy poverty, particularly in the use of traditional cooking fuels. Our study also explores energy poverty outcomes for both sending and receiving households, gender differences among migrants, and other amenities.

Challenges in measuring the distribution of carbon footprints: The role of product and price heterogeneity

Antonin PottierEmmanuel CombetMacro-economical and societal challengesPublicationsPublicationsResearch areaResearch FellowsComments Off on Challenges in measuring the distribution of carbon footprints: The role of product and price heterogeneity

The distribution of the footprint within a country is regularly computed using consumption data, and with the assumption that the footprint from a product category is proportional to the spending on that product. Here, we explore the limitations of this proportionality assumption.

    • Séminaire sur la modélisation macroéconomique SFC environnementale

      30 September 2025
      14:00 PM - 17:00 pm

      Séminaire en présence d'Adam George (SOAS, University of London). Adam George présente un modèle macroéconomique SFC environnemental britannique intégrant émissions de CO2 et investissements verts de tous les agents économiques. Le modèle trimestriel analyse l'impact des politiques énergétiques selon le rapport capital vert/capital conventionnel. Quatre scénarios fiscaux verts sont testés (2022-2035) : taxe carbone, investissement...
