Abstract

This open access book encompasses a collection of in-depth analyses showcasing the challenges and ways forward for macroeconomic modelling of R&D and innovation policies. Based upon the proceedings of the EC-DG JRC-IEA workshop held in Brussels in 2017, it presents cutting-edge contributions from a number of leading economists in the field. It provides a comprehensive overview of the current academic and policy challenges surrounding R&D as well as of the state-of-the-art modelling techniques. The book brings to the forefront outstanding issues related to the assessment of the macroeconomic impact of R&D policies and its modelling. It speaks to the rising importance of R&D and innovation policy, and the proliferation of macroeconomic models featuring endogenous technological change. The contents of this book will be of interest to both academic and policy audiences working in the fields of R&D and innovation.

Abstract

Energy is one of the most important factors of production. Its efficient use is crucial for ensuring production and environmental quality. Unlike normal goods with supply management, energy is demand managed. Efficient energy use—or energy efficiency—aims to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services. Energy use efficiency can be achieved in situations such as housing, offices, industrial production, transport and agriculture as well as in public lighting and services. The use of energy can be reduced by using technology that is energy saving. This Special Issue is a collection of research on energy use efficiency.

Abstract

Primary energy consumption around the world has been increasing steadily since the Industrial Revolution and shows no signals of slowing down in the coming years. This trend is accompanied by the increasing pollutant concentration on the Earth’s biosystems and the general concerns over the health and environmental impacts that will ensue. Air quality, water purity, atmospheric CO2 concentration, etc., are some examples of environmental parameters that are degrading due to human activities. These ecosystems can be safeguarded without renouncing industrial development, urban and economic development through the use of low environmental impact technologies instead of equivalent pollutant ones or through the use of technologies to mitigate the negative impact of high emissions technologies. Pollutant abatement systems, carbon capture technologies, biobased products, etc. need to be established in order to make environmental parameters more and more similar to the pre-industrialization values of the planet Earth. In 15 papers international scientists addressed such topics, especially combining a high academic standard coupled with a practical focus on green processes and a quantitative approach to environmental impacts.

Abstract

Risk measures play a vital role in many subfields of economics and finance. It has been proposed that risk measures could be analysed in relation to the performance of variables extracted from empirical real-world data. For example, risk measures may help inform effective monetary and fiscal policies and, therefore, the further development of pricing models for financial assets such as equities, bonds, currencies, and derivative securities.A Special Issue of “Risk Measures with Applications in Finance and Economics” will be devoted to advancements in the mathematical and statistical development of risk measures with applications in finance and economics. This Special Issue will bring together the theory, practice and real-world applications of risk measures. This book is a collection of papers published in the Special Issue of “Risk Measures with Applications in Finance and Economics” for Sustainability in 2018.

Abstract

Wat als een historica over vijftig jaar terugkijkt naar het begin van de 21ste eeuw? Zij zal versteld staan dat wij - verblind door onze dagelijkse beslommeringen en ons kortetermijnperspectief? - de twee grootste bedreigingen die homo sapiens te wachten stonden niet zagen: een wereldomvattende klimaatcrisis met alle gevolgen van dien, en de digitalisering van arbeid die leidde tot massawerkloosheid en een algeheel verlies van zin en betekenisgeving.In 'Wat op het spel staat' analyseert Philipp Blom het historische scharnierpunt waarop wij ons bevinden aan de hand van verhelderende parallellen met andere historische aardverschuivingen, zoals het einde van het Romeinse Rijk, de Verlichting en de Duitse Weimarrepubliek. Het resultaat is een vlammend betoog vol sterke beelden en scherp verwoorde inzichten, dat iedereen zou moeten lezen die zich zorgen maakt over de toekomst van wat wij voor waardevol houden: vrijheid, tolerantie, het klimaat, arbeid, democratie en mensenrechten.Bron : https://www.managementboek.nl/boek/9789023465980/wat-op-het-spel-staat-philipp-blom
