In the first period, Lionel Perret of the energy and environment consultancy Planair in Yverdon should have presented their scenarios for the decarbonisation of Switzerland. Unfortunately he was sick, so Christophe presented his slides. In the second period, the speakers will recap the whole lecture, give the exam details, and then answered the last remaining questions.

02.07.2020, 15:52

  • Economics of innovation 
    • ... 
    • What it takes for innovation 
    • Learning by doing 
    • Economic characteristics of knowledge: joint production, public good

02.07.2020, 15:51

  • Economics of innovation 
    • Why innovation is important and potentially good for the energy transition 
    • The downside of innovation - unsustainable innovation, market failures regarding innovation 
    • Static vs dynamic efficiency, fixed costs, lock-in effects, path dependency 
    • Time lags in environmental and climate policy making, inertias in the systems 

5.4, ENG-410 - 210414 - FV02d - International Climate Policy - Equity and fairness

02.07.2020, 15:47

Equity and fairness

5.3, ENG-410 - 210421 - FV02c - International Climate Policy - Mitigation As A Public Good

02.07.2020, 15:44

  • Mitigation as a public good
    • Free riding, race to the bottom, pollution heaven

5.2, ENG-410 - 210421 - FV02b - International Climate Policy - Nationally Determined Contributions

02.07.2020, 15:35

  • International climate policy 
    • Negotiations under the UNFCCC 
      • COPs 
      • INDC 

3.4, ENG-410 - 210331 - PT03d - Market

02.07.2020, 15:23

  • Markets: workings and efficiency 
    • Equilibrium of the free competitive market 
    • Minimum and maximum price 
    • Perturbation to markets: demand and supply shocks 
    • Interpreting the market for gasoline since 1975 
    • Normative quality of market equilibrium 

2.2, ENG-410 - 210331 - PT02b - Decoupling

02.07.2020, 15:12

  • Conditions for decoupling 
    • GHG emissions of Swiss aviation 
    • IPAT+Kaya help understand the conditions for decoupling (same as EGS lecture) 
    • What efficiency gains and energy substitutions are needed to stabilize the climate 
    • Limitations of IPAT decomposition 

3.3, ENG-410 - 210331 - PT03c - Demand & Supply

02.07.2020, 15:06

  • Individual and aggregate supply & demand
  • Estimating the demand for gasoline

3.2, ENG-410 - 210331 - PT03b - Intro to Supply (Whiteboard)

02.07.2020, 15:02

From willingness to accept to supply

02.07.2020, 14:59

  • Optimizing agents
  • From willingness to pay to demand

2.3, ENG-410 - 210331 - PT02c - Decoupling

02.07.2020, 14:42

  • Green growth 
    • Historic Kuznets curve 
    • EKC 
      • Meaning 
      • Conditions 
      • Empirical evidence 
    • Conclusion: activity must decrease 

2.1, ENG-410 - 210324 - PT02a - Decoupling

02.07.2020, 14:24

  • Decoupling defined 
    • Definition and illustration: relative and absolute decoupling 
    • I = GDP x I/GDP 
    • Refer to INDCs, of which some promise absolute and some relative decoupling 
    • What is needed is absolute decoupling; relative is only OK if GDP shrinks! 
    • If you do not believe in absolute decoupling, go for shrinking GDP! 

1.3, ENG-410 - 210324 - PT01c - Grand Challenge

02.07.2020, 14:19

  • Decarbonisation 
    • Net-zero by 2050 
    • No more fossil energy 
    • Stranded assets, carbon bubble 

1.2, ENG-410 - 210324 - PT01b - Grand Challenge

02.07.2020, 14:15

  • Hitting the limits 
    • Planetary boundaries 
      • In particular climate change 
      • What the energy system contributes 
    • Finite resources
      • IPAT
    • Extractive economy 

1.1, ENG-410 - 210324 - PT01a - Grand Challenge

02.07.2020, 14:13

  • Demographic and economic growth 
    • Explosion of world population recently 
    • Also, world economy (GDP) 
    • To better understand, look at UK post 1820 
      • population 
      • GDP 
      • GDP/capita 
      • GDP is the product of population x GDP/capita 
      • IPAT
