Les innovations génératrices de nuisances : quels enjeux de politique publique? par Sylvain Hours
2017-04-21 10:30 - 12:00 (Europe/Paris)
FLM #169 “Les innovations génératrices de nuisances : quels enjeux de politique publique ?”, par Sylvain Hours
Abstract:
L’innovation engendre la croissance économique et permet d’accroître le niveau de vie des populations. Cette proposition de Joseph Alois Schumpeter (1912) a été plutôt confortée que contestée par les faits empiriques. Ainsi, il existe un assez large consensus sur l’idée qu’encourager l’innovation devrait constituer l’un des objectifs prioritaires de la politique économique. Cependant, de nombreuses innovations sont à l’origine de nouveaux risques, notamment sanitaires ou environnementaux. Ainsi, les travaux de Sylvain Hours proposent un cadre théorique visant à guider le décideur public dans la mise en œuvre d’une politique avisée en présence d’innovations génératrices de nuisances.

Invité de La Chaire Économie du Climat pour un Friday Lunch Meeting (FLM), le vendredi 5 mai à 12h30. Laurent Berger, Secrétaire général de la CFDT a présenté son ouvrage écrit avec Pascal Canfin : Réinventer le progrès.

Dans Réinventer le progrès, le dirigeant d’une organisation syndicale française dialogue avec le directeur d’une ONG environnementale autour des enjeux de l’indispensable transition écologique. Comment redessiner un futur qui fasse envie dans les bouleversements de la mondialisation, de la révolution numérique et des dégâts environnementaux ? Comment concilier progrès social et transition écologique ?

The presentation will show recent research from the research group “Energy and Transport” at KIT starting with projections of the market penetration by alternative drive train technologies. A comprehensive outline of how electric vehicles can be synergetic integrated into the electricity system forms the core of the presentation. This includes different perspectives: household, decentral, and central level as well as grid and generation. A focus in on which approaches can be used to measure indirect emissions (by power plants) from electric vehicles.
Furthermore, the optimal allocation of fast charging stations along highways as well as stationary storages in combination with photovoltaic systems and electric vehicles in private households are presented.

L'émergence de la résilience dans l'étrange monde de la gouvernance du risque et du développement durable par Myriad Merad
2017-06-23 10:30 - 12:00 (Europe/Paris)
FLM#172
Invitée de la Chaire Économie du Climat – Friday Lunch Meeting (FLM), le vendredi 23 juin à 12h30, Myriam Merad, Directrice de recherche à l’Institut des Sciences humaines et sociales et au CNRS, nous présente ses travaux de recherche sur L’émergence de la résilience dans l’étrange monde de la gouvernance du risque et du développement durable.
Ces dernières années, de nombreux chercheurs ont souligné les limites des approches fondées sur le risque et soulignent la contribution des approches basées sur la résilience. Des définitions et des méthodes ont été proposées et des “applications pratiques” ont été publiées. Cependant, en revenant aux applications de la vie professionnelle des praticiens, il semble que le passage en pratique que les chercheurs demandent est encore difficile à mettre en œuvre.
Dans cette présentation, nous discuterons de certains disparus dans l’arsenal conceptuel et méthodologique dans la manière dont la résilience est conçue et gouvernée et permettra de partager une analyse pratique de certaines politiques et stratégies de prévention des risques et de transition énergétique à cet égard.

Read the Insights Papers: Renewable Energy for Industry
Abstract: The rapid fall in cost of solar and wind power technologies opens a new range of possibilities to decarbonise the global economy and cut carbon emissions from industry. Besides direct renewable heat and electrification, hydrogen-rich chemicals that are easy to store and transport could serve as feedstock, process agents and fuels. They could be produced in areas with abundant and cheap resources, and shipped to consuming centers, opening the prospects to a new kind of international energy trade. This Insights Paper examines emerging technology options, and reviews national and international policies that could foster their development and their deployment.

Jacques Papy will present his current research work on the Western Climate Initiative Carbon Link Agreement signed by California, Ontario and Quebec in September 2017.
In particular, he will address the legal issues of the agreement for Quebec’s GHG cap and trade system as well as its articulation with Canada’s federal carbon pricing program.
Abstract: The global digital transition is accelerating while the ecological transition is only contributing to it, in the best case. This situation will not be sustainable for long. It is important to give ourselves as soon as possible a collective objective which would correspond in the end to what is required by the state of degradation of the Earth system.
How to reconcile a radically reduced ecological footprint with the current plurality of our societies and their economic fabric? The answer is on the side of a permacircular economy: the strict respect of the planetary limits requires, for the rich countries, circular metabolisms, but also a clear reduction of the material substrate of their activities – thus a decrease – and an opening to the the widest possible technological and social experimentation.
This book proposes a detailed political and ethical framework aimed at progressively building, in the respect of modern pluralism, an authentically sustainable economy. Christian Arnsperger is an economist and professor at the University of Lausanne, at the Institute of Geography and Sustainability. He is also a scientific advisor of the Swiss alternative bank. Dominique Bourg is a philosopher and professor at the University of Lausanne.
He co-directed, with Alain Papaux, the Dictionary of Ecological Thought (Puf), and directed the collection “Ecology in Questions” and the online journal Ecological Thought. He also heads the scientific council of the Nicolas Hulot Foundation.

Program:
What if preserving our climate was one of the best ways to hold back the next Financial crisis? To save the banks, we put down 1 000 billions. Why not using them to reverse climate change?

Jean Jouzel et Pierre Larrouturou
With this book, climatologist Jean Jouzel and economist Pierre Larrouturou suggest a hands-on European finance-climate agreement, to cut CO2 emissions four-fold, deflate the Financial bubble and create 5 million jobs. The climate machine is dangerously steaming. There is only 3 years left to reverse the greenhouse gas emission’s curve if we want to save the youth from a climate that would be hard, even impossible to adapt to.

Yet, in the same time the world’s debt level is unprecentented, central banks feed speculators and everything seems to announce a crisis worse than 2008. To favor speculation or save the climate? The choice is ours.

Summary:
The global digital transition is accelerating as the ecological transition, at best, is stalling. This situation will not be sustainable for long. It is important to give ourselves as soon as possible a collective goal that corresponds finally to what is required by the state of degradation of the Earth system.
How to reconcile a radically reduced ecological footprint with the current plurality of our societies and their economic fabric? The answer is on the side of a permacircular economy: the strict respect of the planetary limits requires, for the rich countries, circular metabolisms, but also a clear reduction of the material substrate of their activities – thus a decrease – and an opening to the the widest possible technological and social experimentation.

Is There a Green Bond Premium? The yield differential between green and conventional bonds

Summary:
The article examines the yield (or the cost of financing, seen from the perspective of the issuer) of the green bonds. We use a matching method, followed by a two-step regression, to estimate the yield differential between a green bond and a synthetic bond in exactly the same way, between July 2013 and December 2017.
The yield on green bonds is on average 2 basis points lower than that of a conventional secondary market bond for the total sample, as well as for bonds issued in Euro and US Dollars.
We show that the main determinants of this premium are the credit rating of the issuer and the type of issuer: the negative premium is even more pronounced for bonds issued by financial institutions and for bonds with a low rating. . The results thus suggest an investor preference for green bonds which results in a slight emission deficiency compared to demand in several market segments.
Regulatory measures could therefore help to fuel the flow of green bond issuance and thus support the financing of environmental transition.

Mouez Fodha (PSE, Université Paris 1) will lecture about his soon published article: « Environmental Tax Reform under debt constraint »

Abstract
This article analyzes the impacts of Environmental Tax Reform (ETR) when the government is constrained not to increase the public debt-to-output ratio.
We consider an overlapping generations model with pollution. Public spending for pollution abatement are …nanced by tax revenues and public debt. We show that keeping constant the public debt-output ratio is not an obstacle to attain a double dividend, i.e. an increase of both (i) environmental quality and (ii) aggregate consumption.
First, if the capital stock is low and the pollution abatement is large enough, a successful ETR consists in a rise of the environmental tax, compensated by a decrease of the income tax. Secondly, we show that the environmental tax revenues may help reduce the public debt-output ratio. We give conditions (on the initial level of the environmental tax and the debt-output ratio) such that an increase of the environmental tax, budget-balanced by a decrease of the debt-output ratio may also achieve a double dividend.
We conclude that public debt crisis should not compromise ETR, instead, environmental tax revenues could be part of the solution.

Friday Lunch Meeting, Elena Verdolini, 16th of November 2018
2018-11-16 11:30 - 13:30 UTC
Elena Verdolini (European Institute on Economics and the Environment :EIEE) will present the following article: “Threshold Policy Effects and Directed Technical Change in Energy Innovation”, co-written with Lionel Nesta and Francesco Vona.

Résumé

The presentation will be done in English.
This paper analyzes the effect of environmental policies on the direction of energy innovation across countries over the period 1990-2012. Our novelty is to use threshold regression models to allow for discontinuities in policy effectiveness depending on a country’s relative competencies in renewable and fossil fuel technologies. We show that the dynamic incentives of environmental policies become effective just above the median level of relative competencies. In this critical second regime, market-based policies are moderately effective in promoting renewable innovation, while commandand-control policies depress fossil based innovation. Finally, market-based policies are more effective to consolidate a green comparative advantage in the last regime. We illustrate how our approach can be used for policy design in laggard countries.

2018-11-30 11:30 - 13:00 UTC
Mohamed Akli Achabou (Research Professor in Strategy at IPAG Business School ) & Sihem Dekhili (Professor of Marketing at the University of Strasbourg – EM business school) will lecture about the paradox between luxury and sustainable development.

Abstract

Although a real “era of sustainable development” seems to prevail in Western societies, not all categories of products / services are necessarily concerned. This is particularly the case of the luxury sector, whose universe seems remote from that of sustainable development. Our various studies show that engaging in an eco-responsible approach does not allow luxury companies to promote their offers in the eyes of consumers, and may even pose a risk to the perception that they may have of the quality of their products. ecological luxury. In this sense, examining the sources of dissonance between luxury and sustainable development is an interesting avenue to explore. The results of our research on the subject make it possible to group them around three aspects: the dimensions of the concept (sharing, quality, rationality, altruism), the environmental aspect (preservation of the resources), and the social aspect (social equality, justice in the level of employment, animal welfare). Our results also make it possible to specify the ways of reducing dissonance adopted by consumers, and then to propose recommendations to companies.

Called the “climate-energy contribution”, the carbon tax was introduced in France in 2014 to price energy-related CO2 emissions not covered by the European emissions trading system. Its acceleration should accelerate, at least as far as the rate is concerned, calling for a first assessment of its actual effects. This is what this Information & Debates proposes, concentrating the evaluation on the sectors most concerned. Evaluating the impact of the tax is not just about comparing emissions before and after coming into force. This requires comparing the emissions observed over the period with the evolution of a “counterfactual” scenario representing the hypothetical trajectory that emissions would have followed in its absence.

Friday Lunch Meeting, Yves Marignac, 18th of January
2019-01-18 11:30 - 13:00 UTC
Yves Marignac (Spokesperson and delegate for the prospective analysis at the negaWatt association) will present the synthesis of the negaWatt 2017-2050 scenario (to be consulted here).
summary The negaWatt scenario is a forward-looking exercise that precisely describes the possible trajectory to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by a factor of 4 and get rid of our dependence on fossil fuels by 2050. The new Negawatt Association’s scenario confirms that the “100% renewable” is possible from 2050.
