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.

8 p, 394.9 KB Pricing instruments in environmental and climate policy when polluters are boundedly rational / Gsottbauer, Elisabeth (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano) ; van den Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
The use of pricing instruments in environmental policy has been argued to have certain advantages, notably related to static and dynamic efficiency as well as effectiveness due to economy-wide scope. [...]

Vienna Institute of Demography) ; Scholz-Wäckerle, Manuel (Vienna University of Economics and Business. Department of Socioeconomics) ; van den Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M. (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
Climate policy has been mainly studied with economic models that assume representative, rational agents. Such policy aims, though, at changing carbon-intensive consumption and production patterns driven by bounded rationality and other-regarding preferences, such as status and imitation. [...]

Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Drews, Stefan (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Savin, Ivan (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; van den Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
Public acceptability of carbon taxation depends on its revenue use. Which single or mixed revenue use is most appropriate, and which perceptions of policy effectiveness and fairness explain this, remains unclear. [...]

22 p, 1.5 MB Comparing advice on climate policy between academic experts and ChatGPT / Salekpay, Foroogh (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; van den Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Savin, Ivan (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
We compare the results from a recent global expert survey on climate policy with answers to the same survey by the online artificial-intelligence chatbot ChatGPT. Such a study is timely and relevant as many people around the world are likely to use ChatGPT and similar language models to inquire about climate solutions, which in turn might influence public opinion.

Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; van den Bergh, Jeroen C. J. M (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
In the last decade many publications have appeared on degrowth as a strategy to confront environmental and social problems. We undertake a systematic review of their content, data and methods. This involves the use of computational linguistics to identify main topics investigated. [...]

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.

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. [...]
