Reactor ageing and phase-out policies : global and European prospects for nuclear power generation

Carrara, Samuel - 2019

Nuclear is considered as a valuable option for the decarbonization of the power generation, as it is a no-carbon, yet commercially consolidated technology. However, its real prospects are uncertain: if some countries, especially in the non-OECD area, have been extensively investing in nuclear,...

Structural change in industrial output : China 1995 - 2010

Albala-Bertrand, José M. - 2015

The aim of this paper is to learn about some patterns of sectoral and industrial structural change of the Chinese economy over the 1995-2010 period. To such a purpose, we set up a quantitative methodology via input-output modelling, which allows us to decompose gross output into some key demand...

Industrial interdependence : China 1995 - 2010

Albala-Bertrand, José M. - 2016

This paper is a continuation of our study of structural change in China and deals with the changes of domestic industrial/sectoral backward and forward linkages (i.e. the pull and push of the economy) as well as the changes in their domestic and imported components (i.e. via import...

Understanding economic growth in the Caribbean region : a conceptual and methodological study

Fuentes S. M., J. Rodrigo; Melgarejo, Karl; … - 2015

A renewed interest in explaining growth in the Caribbean countries is motivated by the somewhat slow but uneven performance in the past decade: per capita GDP gaps in Caribbean countries have widened in relation to the United States, whereas standard theories would predict convergence. This...

Beyond GDP : modelling labour supply as a "free time" trade-off in a multiregional optimal growth model

Bosetti, Valentina; Ghersi, Frédéric - 2012

In this paper we develop the standard utility function of a Ramsey-type optimal growth model to account for a "market-time" vs. "free-time" trade-off. To do so, we introduce a free-time preference coefficient that measures the utility gained by deviating from a maximum labour supply defined as...
