Description du sujet:

Climate change raises questions about both consumer and corporate behavior and calls for major efforts
on the part of companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, both in terms of research and
development and investment in low-carbon technologies, a possible reorientation by the latter towards
the production of less polluting goods or activities, and more moderate purchasing behavior. Ecological
planning, by coordinating environmental policy, industrial policy, public orders, and public enterprise
strategies, aims to enable a transition to a more decarbonized economy. This project will focus on the
design and implementation of ecological planning.
In order to design ecological planning, it is essential to have a global approach considering the different
externalities between sectors (pollution, research and development, production factor,...), the
interactions between implemented policies, the presence of different market failures, the consideration
of maturity and the risk of non-development associated with emerging technologies as well as the
different behavioral biases. The study of the value chain in many sectors is essential to understand how
to reorganize it and how to replace it with another or make it less polluting. The choice of regulatory
instruments and the level of severity set depend on the coordination chosen. Policy commitment and
credibility are particularly important. This project also intends to identify the various obstacles to the
implementation of such planning.
The theoretical work will be applied to various issues, such as the emergence of CO2 capture and
recycling technologies, digital pollution regulation, and the decarbonization of shipping and industry.
This project may take the form of either a three-year doctoral thesis or a two-year post-doctoral
fellowship. It will be integrated into the multi-disciplinary DefiCO2 project and will benefit from numerous
exchanges with the different disciplines involved.

Présentation établissement et labo d'accueil:

• Grenoble Applied Economics Laboratory

The Grenoble Applied Economy Laboratory (GAEL) is a joint research unit of CNRS, INRAE, University Grenoble Alpes (UGA) and Grenoble INP. The main focus of GAEL is the microeconomics of sustainable innovation and consumption, with results mainly applied to the fields of energy and the agro-industry. The main methods used at GAEL are microeconomics (industrial organization, behavioral economics), experimental economics, econometrics, applied modeling in the domain of energy and qualitative analysis based on case studies.
