Land use change and land management intensification are major drivers of biodiversity loss, especially in agricultural landscapes, that cover a large and increasing share of the world's surface. Incentive-based agrienvironmental policies are designed to influence farmers' land-use decisions in...

Taking climate change as an example, this paper provides new insights on the optimal provision of a long-term public good within and across generations. We write the Bowen–Lindhal–Samuelson (BLS) conditions for the optimal provision of the public good in a world divided into N...

Stimulating renewable energy is a crucial objective in view of tackling climate change and coping with future fossil fuel scarcity. In France, fuelwood appears to be an important source for the renewable energy mix. Using the French Forest Sector Model, our paper aims to assess the impacts of...

European forests are a resource that is targeted by several EU environmental and land use policies as forests can be of critical importance to mitigate climate change. At the same time, they are central to the EU's biodiversity policy, and particular the Natura 2000 network of protected areas....

The paper investigates a climate-economy model with an iso-elastic welfare function in which one parameter gamma measures relative risk-aversion and a distinct parameter rho measures resistance to intertemporal substitution. We show both theoretically and numerically that climate policy responds...

We determine the optimal exploitation time-paths of two energy resources, one being depletable and polluting, namely a fossil fuel, the other being renewable and clean. These optimal paths are considered along with the two following features. First, the cumulative atmospheric pollution stock is...

L'objectif de l'article est de présenter l'application du droit de la concurrence au secteur agroalimentaire en Europe. Les auteurs rappellent tout d'abord les règles du droit de la concurrence puis présentent son application à l'industrie et au secteur agricole, en particulier aux...

Les performances économiques passées du secteur agricole et agro-alimentaire au cours des cinquante dernières années, en particulier la conquête des débouchés sur les marchés internationaux, ont constitué un large succès dans l'ensemble. Pourtant l'intervention publique dans ce secteur...
