The trouble with macroeconomics
Blanchard (PIIE, 2016):
I see the current DSGE models as seriously flawed...
Romer (2016):
For more than three decades, macroeconomics has gone backwards...
Kocherlakota (2016):
...we simply do not have a settled successful theory of the macroeconomy. The choices made 25-40 years ago - made then for a number of excellent reasons - should not be treated as written in stone or even in pen.

The Price-taking paradigm
Maxqi π(qi) = p · qi − ci(qi) is not individually optimal (unless each firm is atomless): π(qi + dqi) − π(qi) = p(Q + dqi)(qi + dqi) − ci(qi + dqi) − p(Q)qi + ci(qi) ≃ p(Q)dqi + qidqi dp dQ + d2qi − c′

Research questions
Combine two sources of global instabilities, climate and finance, in a minimal dy-
namic framework to perform a prospective analysis. Can climate change drive the global economy in a deep recessionary state?
Provide guidance for the implementation of public policy objectives in order to en-
sure economic stability and perform the energy shift. Is a price signal sufficient?
Cope with climate as well as economic uncertainties in order to have a deeper
understanding of our chances to meet to Paris Agreement’s objectives. What are our chances to stay below +2◦C?
#WorldInCommon AGENCE FRANÇAISE DE DÉVELOPPEMENT | FRENCH DEVELOPMENT AGENCY 39/72
Main findings
In a business as usual scenario, climate change drives the global economy toward
a situation of “economic collapse.”-
A price signal (carbon tax) provides indeed the right incentives to perform the en-
ergy shift and avoid most of climate damages.
However, financial risks are not entirely precluded: in line with the Stern-Stiglitz
report (2017), a green public intervention is required to tackle both instabilities.
Our chances to achieve the Paris Agreement target stay, at most, below 25%.

Which temperature targets can be reached?
Nordhaus (2016) following a recalibration of the climate module of DICE:1
The study confirms past estimates of likely rapid climate change over the next century if there are not major climate-change policies. It suggests that it will be extremely difficult to achieve the 2◦C target of international agreements even if am- bitious policies are introduced in the near term. The required carbon price needed to achieve current targets has risen over time as policies have been delayed.

◮ α, that drives the labor productivity growth, and consequently, the long-term growth.
◮ S, the climate sensitivity parameter. ◮ Cup, the biosphere and upper ocean’s ultimate load capacity of absorption CO2. ◮ In all our simulations, we test various damage functions between Nordhaus’s and the

Main results
Development of a stock-flow consistent monetary integrated assessment model
calibrated at the world level
Inaction would most likely lead to a global collapse of the world economic system A limited action (carbon price only) allows to avoid most climate damages but re-
mains insufficient to preclude financial instability
A wider public involvement (carbon price and subsidies) is more likely to meet both
