Policy implications of resource constraints on the European economy
Kratena, Kurt; Sommer, Mark - WWWforEurope - 2014
It is expected that binding biophysical constraints have the potential to slow growth and impede the improvement of other key macroeconomic variables. Using a DYNK (Dynamic New Keynesian) model of the EU27, we study two different environmental policy options and evaluate their impact on...

City networks and the socio-ecological transition. A European inventory
Labaeye, Adrien; Sauer, Thomas - WWWforEurope - 2013
Area 5 focuses on the regional and local dimensions of the new European path to socio-ecological transition. Its central assumption is that any strategy developed to enhance a socio-ecological transition is unlikely to yield strong results unless the resources of regional and local actors are...

Towards an operational measurement of socio-ecological performance
Kettner, Claudia; Köppl, Angela; Stagl, Sigrid - WWWforEurope - 2014
Questioning GDP as dominant indicator for economic performance has become commonplace. For economists economic policy always aims for a broader array of goals (like income, employment, price stability, trade balance) alongside income, with income being the priority objective. The Stiglitz-Sen-...

Achieving absolute decoupling? Comparing biophysical scenarios and macro-economic modelling results
Wiedenhofer, Dominik; Fischer-Kowalski, Marina - WWWforEurope - 2015
Most economic models struggle to incorporate biophysical relationships between materials, energy and emissions, in order to appropriately deal with biophysical constraints of supply (and possibly also demand). After the incorporation of biophysical constraints, some functions produced surprising...

An optimal policy mix for resource use
Fischer-Kowalski, Marina; Wiedenhofer, Dominik - WWWforEurope - 2014
With reference to the use of material and energy resources, we seek to • underline the need for a marked socio-ecological transition. Business-as-usual will fail in the face of an unprecendented rise in global demand, a rising price level and volatility of raw materials and indications of...

Policy responses by different agents/stakeholders in a transition: Integrating the Multi-level Perspective and behavioral economics
Gazheli, Ardjan; Antal, Miklós; Drake, Ben; Jackson, Tim; … - WWWforEurope - 2013
This short paper considers all possible stakeholders in different stages of a sustainability transition and matches their behavioral features and diversity to policies. This will involve an assessment of potential or expected responses of stakeholders to a range of policy instruments. Following...

The Role of Product and Process Innovation in CGE Models of Environmental Policy
Baccianti, Claudio; Löschel, Andreas - WWWforEurope - 2014
to integrate endogenous technological progress. Nevertheless, several complexities of innovation are still neglected even … modelling literature through a special lens. We discuss how existing models deal with different types of innovation (i ….e. product and process innovation) and how differences in innovation activities influence modelling results. We also emphasise …
