Introduction

Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE)

  • 1. All the present and future variables are simultaneously at equilibrium
  • 2. People maximize their individual utility (or profit) perfectly anticipating the future.
  • 3. Returns to scale are decreasing by assumption.
  • 4. Equilibrium is only disrupted by exogenous shocks but is always locally asymptoti-

cally stable

  • 5. Money is neutral and there is no banking sector.
  • 6. Private debts don’t matter.
  • 7. Inequalities don’t matter.
  • 8. Energy and matter don’t matter.
  • 9. Climate backloops are harmless.

Introduction

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.

Introduction

Rational expectations?

Cass & Stiglitz (1969) : trajectories with rational expectations are not locally stable

in the space of trajectories with expectations.

In the parlance of Guesnerie (2006) : REE are not eductively stable.

Introduction

The Price-taking paradigm

  • 1. Suppose you wanna travel from Iseo to Roma as quickly as possible...

2.

∂p ∂qi = 0 and dp dQ < 0 are mutually incompatible (unless each firm is atomless):

0 = ∂p ∂qi = dp dQ ∂Q ∂qi = dp dQ < 0.

slide-14
SLIDE 14

#WorldInCommon AGENCE FRANÇAISE DE DÉVELOPPEMENT | FRENCH DEVELOPMENT AGENCY 12/72

Introduction

The Price-taking paradigm

  • 1. The conventional solution to

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′

i (qi)dqi

≃ qidqi dp dQ < 0

dQ = 1 − (n − 1) dqi dQ , 3. c′

i (qi) = p(Q) + nqi

dp(Q) dQ = p(Q) + Q dp(Q) dQ . (1)

#WorldInCommon AGENCE FRANÇAISE DE DÉVELOPPEMENT | FRENCH DEVELOPMENT AGENCY 14/72

Introduction

The Price-taking paradigm

  • 1. The price-taking solution coincides with the monopolistic one.
  • 2. Hence, it is Pareto-suboptimal.
  • 3. Discontinuity of the price-taking solution when n → +∞. (= Mas-Collel ()).
  • 4. Perfect competition makes sense only with an atomless space of firms.

In the “real” world (n < +∞), competition is always imperfect.

  • 5. Stigler (1954), Keen & Standish (2006), Giraud et al. (2018).

Gemmes research programme

Key research highlights

  • 1. Combine three potential sources of global instabilities (climate, finance and in-

equalities) in a minimal and consistent framework to provide prospective analysis insights on the climate-economy interactions

  • 2. Identify the instability factors and their transmission channels (in particular the piv-
  • tal role of private debt) through non-linear dynamics.
  • 3. Provide public policy guidance for the implementation of the Paris Agreement to

contain global warming “well below” +2◦C.

  • 4. Provide insight on the impact of natural resource scarcity: biodiversity, energy, min-

erals...

  • 5. Help drive the social-ecological transition.

Theoretical elements

Minimum (bounded) rationality in a stock-flow consistent set-up. Mathematical formalization of Minsky’s moment ◮ Lotka-Volterra relationship linking the employment rate to the wage share ◮ Dynamics of the private debt of firms + endogenous creation of non-neutral money by

banks.

Phenomenological empirical approach to ground aggregate behavior:

investment, consumption, short-term Phillips curve (Mankiw (2010)[? ], Gordon (2014), Krug- man (2014)).

Basic Model structure

Cass-Stiglitz (1969), Akerlof-Stigliz (1969), Keen (1995).

  • 1. Leontief production function:

Yt = min Kt ν , atLt

  • = Kt

ν = atLt Wages are consumed, Profits reinvested ˙ K = It − δKt = (Yt − wtLt) − δKt

  • 2. Short-term Phillips Curve (Mankiw, 2010)

˙ w w = Φ (λ)

  • 3. Productivity and population grow exponentially

˙ a a = α > 0 , ˙ N N = β > 0.

slide-28
SLIDE 28

#WorldInCommon AGENCE FRANÇAISE DE DÉVELOPPEMENT | FRENCH DEVELOPMENT AGENCY 26/72

Basic Model structure (2)

  • 1. The wage share:

ωt := wtLt Yt = Wt Yt The employment rate: λt := Lt Nt

  • 2. Autonomous non-linear differential system

˙ ω ω = Φ(λ) − α , ˙ λ λ = 1 − ω ν − α − β − δ

slide-29
SLIDE 29

#WorldInCommon AGENCE FRANÇAISE DE DÉVELOPPEMENT | FRENCH DEVELOPMENT AGENCY 27/72

Gemmes: the model

The simple Keen (1995) model

  • 1. ω ∈ [0, 1] wage share in the GDP;
  • 2. λ ∈ [0, 1]= employment rate.
  • 3. d := D/Y private debt ratio over real GDP

.

  • 4. The model can be described by the “simple” non-linear system:

5. ˙ ω = ω

  • Φ(λ) − α
  • ˙

λ = λ

  • g − α − β
  • ˙

d = κ(π) − π − dg

α= productivity growth rate β: population growth rate. Φ(·): short-run Phillips curve. κ(π) = I investment as a function of the profit share π := 1 − ω. g= real GDP growth rate.

Some extensions

  • 1. Under standard assumptions:

3 long-run equilibria.

  • 2. A Solovian equilibrium (locally asymptotically stable) (cf. Harrod-Domar) with a

balanced growth path. g = α + β. Golden Rule. λ → NAIRU (Tobin, Akerlof-Stiglitz (1969)).

  • 3. A debt-deflationary (Fisherian) equilibrium (locally asymptotically stable)

g = 0.

  • 4. A “slavery equilibrium” (λ > 0 but ω = 0) unstable.

Introduction

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?

slide-41
SLIDE 41

#WorldInCommon AGENCE FRANÇAISE DE DÉVELOPPEMENT | FRENCH DEVELOPMENT AGENCY 39/72

Introduction

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.

Modeling uncertainty

Uncertainty parameters Uncertainty is divided into two classes:

  • 1. On the macroeconomic parameters

◮ α, that drives the labor productivity growth, and consequently, the long-term growth.

  • 2. On the climate module parameters

◮ 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

Dietz and Stern’s.

Climate prospective – Scope of analysis

Design of the prospective scenarios

Calibration over a reconstructed world economy (approx. 85% of the “real” world)

with a panel of 36 countries over the period 2000 – 2015 (dataset from World Bank, Penn University, the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the United Nations).

Prospective analysis through 4 classes of scenarios:2

Scenario No climate Baseline Low policy High policy Carbon tax (Weak pC)

  • Yes
  • Carbon tax (High pC)
  • Yes

Yes

  • Abat. subsidy (25%)
  • Yes

Damage Type

  • Stern

Stern Stern Table: Scenarios considered for the prospective analysis

Where the public policies are

  • 1. Weak pC represents non-constraining carbon price starting at approx. 2 in 2016 and

growing at a 2% rate per year

  • 2. High pC represents a carbon price at 80 in 2020 and 100 in 2030
  • 3. A x% of abatement subsidy is equivalent to reducing abatements costs by x%

2The scenarios listed in the presentation are drawn from a broader range assessed in this study.

Concluding remarks

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

  • bjectives, in line with the recommendations of the Stern-Stiglitz report (2017)

Concluding remarks

Areas for further research

Refine the economic modeling (role of technical progress, explicit demand side) Distinguish between the various vintages of capital Build the spacial dimension of the energy shift Design additional green tools to tackle both instabilities
