Désindustrialisation, Europe et transition climatique

Le constat du déclin français et de la désindustrialisation est assez largement partagé, même si l’économie française ne s’est pas effondrée. La transition climatique constitue un défi supplémentaire en créant un choc négatif et un besoin de financement de grande ampleur. Quelles sont les trajectoires envisageables en France et dans l’UE ?

Heterogenous effects of rural electrification on child labor in Nigeria

This paper investigate in particular how child labor varies depending on the nature of electricity supply and the electrical appliances used in the household. We find that the employment probability of children from electrified households is lower than that of children living in non-electrified households only when the household combines grid access and a generator as sources of electricity.

An assessment of the European regulation on battery recycling for electric vehicles

This paper investigates the design of a recent regulatory proposal aimed at favoring the emergence of a
battery recycling industry in Europe. It develops a material flow model that projects battery wastes and their recycling potential. Our findings indicate that the feasibility of the European Commission proposed thresholds is not very sensitive to changes of material intensities from battery technology shifts, recycling efficiencies, or the faster uptake of demand.
