Environmental and Climate Economics (ECE)
El grupo de investigación Economía Ambiental y Climática (Environmental and Climate Economics) desarrolla modelos integrados para abordar cuestiones difíciles y de actualidad en la frontera entre la economía, los estudios de innovación y las ciencias medioambientales, enfocado a promover una transición rápida y completa hacia una economía baja en carbono. Algunas aplicaciones específicas tratan temas de energías renovables, transporte y ciudades, mientras que se enfatizan metodologías de economía evolucionaria y de conducta, utilizando modelización basada en múltiples agentes interactivos. Los proyectos actuales tratan la evaluación de paquetes de políticas climáticas efectivas, redirigiendo negociaciones climáticas internacionales hacia la tarificación del carbono, y la formación de clubes de clima internacionales. Tenemos también un interés de larga trayectoria en la relación entre crecimiento económico y el medio ambiente, y en particular cómo se ve afectado por el cambio climático y las políticas.

3 p, 82.1 KB A transition to green 'agrowth' / van den Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M. (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Drews, Stefan (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
We need to debate in science, politics and wider society the option of stepping outside the futile framing of pro- versus anti-growth. Realizing there is a third way, namely an agrowth strategy, can help to overcome existing polarization and weaken political resistance against effective environmental and climate policies.

17 p, 1.2 MB Public expectations about the impact of COVID-19 on climate action by citizens and government / Savin, Ivan (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Drews, Stefan (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M. van den (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Villamayor-Tomas, Sergio (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
Since the onset of the COVID-19 crisis many have opinionated on how it may affect society's response to climate change. Two key questions here are how COVID-19 is expected to influence climate action by citizens and by the government. [...]

70 p, 1.1 MB Assessing criticisms of carbon pricing / van den Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M. (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Botzen, W. J. Wouter (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Instituut voor Milieuvraagstukken)
There is still considerable resistance against carbon pricing - i. e. carbon taxation or cap-and-trade - in the social and policy sciences. We review its main arguments and conclude that they are not supported by the theoretical and empirical literature on instrument performance. [...]

12 p, 652.7 KB Behavioral spillovers from green purchases : comparing impacts on consumption and policy support / Castro Santa, Juana (Universitat de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia) ; Drews, Stefan (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; van den Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M (Universidad de Málaga. Departamento de Economía Aplicada)
Green labels and green advertising aim to promote products associated with less energy demands and lower carbon emissions. However, there are indications that purchasing green products may trigger negative spillover effects to subsequent pro-environmental behaviors. [...]

The discourse surrounding sustainable consumption and production has evolved to encompass sufficiency strategies in addition to efficiency and effectiveness. Product-service systems (PSSs) can promote sufficiency by replacing traditional product-intensive systems with dematerialized services and changes in ownership structures. [...]

Testing mechanisms through which China's ETS promotes a low-carbon transition / Liu, Feng (China University of Mining and Technology. School of Economics and Management) ; van den Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M. (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Wei, Yihang (China University of Mining and Technology. School of Economics and Management)
China regards an emission trading scheme (ETS) as the most promising approach for reducing its carbon dioxide emissions. However, there are still disagreements about the effectiveness of China's ETS (CETS). [...]

24 p, 2.3 MB An Agent-Based Model of Cultural Change for a Low-Carbon Transition / Torren-Peraire, Daniel (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Savin, Ivan (ESCP Business School) ; van den Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M. (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
Meeting climate goals requires radical changes in the consumption behaviour of individuals. This necessitates an understanding of how the diffusion of low-carbon behaviour will occur. The speed and inter-dependency of these changes in behavioural choices may be modulated by individuals' culture. [...]
