Despite the inextricable link between oil scarcity and climate change, the interplay between these two issues is paradoxically an underworked area. This article uses a global energy-economy model to address the link between future oil supply and climate change and assesses in a common framework...

This paper is motivated by the rising interest in assessing the effect of disruptions in resources and environmental conditions on economic growth. Such an assessment requires, ultimately, the use of truly integrated models of the climate and economic systems. For these purposes, we have...

The European Union commitment to implement the Kyoto Protocol has been recently criticised by some Member States and high level officials who claim that such a policy would threaten the competitiveness of European industry vis-à-vis countries without a commitment. This concern has been voiced...

Nous quantifions l'impact, sur la compétitivité de douze secteurs industriels, d'une réduction unilatérale des émissions de gaz à effet de serre dans l'Union européenne. Nous montrons tout d'abord que les secteurs intensifs en CO2 sont moins exposés à la compétition extra communautaire...

Cette fiche synthétise les arguments en faveur d'un investissement précoce pour le développement de l'électrification des véhicules, qui ont été développés dans le cadre de l'étude " Vision Europe-Chine 2010-2011 ". Cette étude, menée en collaboration entre le Cired et l'Observatoire...

This paper envisages endogenous technical change as resulting from the interplay between the economic growth engine, consumption, technology and localization patterns. We perform numerical simulations with the recursive dynamic general equilibrium model IMACLIM-R to study how modeling induced...

Current debates on climate mitigation emphasize the role of the inertia of the economic system. Our aim in this paper is to study more in depth how sectorally differentiated inertia impacts on optimal C02-emission abatement policies. Using the STARTS model, we show that optimal abatement levels...

Cette étude offre une vision d'ensemble des enjeux de mise en oeuvre et d'évolution d'une fiscalité carbone en France. Elle s'applique à ne pas dissocier son évaluation des grands défis économiques et sociaux à venir et montre qu'un recours à la taxation du carbone offre sur le long...

Climate change is representative of a general class of environmental issues where decisions have to be taken under controversies. The policy framework for these kinds of decisions is defined by three important traits: scientific ignorance, mediatization and the need for innovation. Scientific...

This communication summarizes the main findings of INASUD, an Europeanwide research project on integrated assessment of climate policies. The projectaimed at improving the framing of climate policy analysis through the parallel use of various existing integrated assessment models. It provides a...
