  Lecturer :
  PATRICE GEOFFRON
  

  Total hours : 36

  Overview :

  Présentation générale Le changement climatique est principalement lié à un modèle énergétique historiquement basé sur les énergies fossiles (charbon, pétrole et gaz naturel) depuis la première révolution industrielle. Limiter les principaux effets du changement climatique (événements climatiques extrêmes, pollution atmosphérique, élévation du niveau de la mer, ...) et leurs coûts économiques implique de déployer des moyens énergétiques bas carbone (éolien, solaire, ...), d'améliorer l'efficacité énergétique et, plus largement, de transformer l'organisation de nos sociétés. Dans ce contexte, le cours examine : - La théorie économique, les perspectives empiriques et l'économie politique de l'offre et de la demande d'énergie, tant pour les combustibles fossiles que pour les sources d'énergie renouvelables. - Les politiques publiques affectant les marchés de l'énergie, y compris la taxation, la régulation et la dérégulation des prix, l'efficacité énergétique et le contrôle des émissions. - Une attention particulière sera accordée aux politiques économiques telles que les taxes sur le carbone et les permis d'émission négociables, ainsi qu'aux problèmes liés au remplacement des combustibles fossiles par de nouvelles technologies énergétiques.

  Overview :

  Syllabus (here) This course focuses on energy policies through a research paper in energy economics. It helps students develop a critical understanding of the role of policy for sustainable energy transitions in developed and developing countries. The focus of the research paper project format is an economic question or issue in energy policies in a specific country or geographic area. Energy plays a key role in most of the world’s environmental problems, from the global issue of climate change, through regional damage caused by acid rain, to poor local air quality. Energy markets throughout the world are evolving rapidly, with privatization, competition, market structure and regulation all prominent worldwide. Resource depletion of fossil fuels, the role of renewable energy and social inequities such as fuel poverty are central issues for sustainable development. The influence of energy issues on international politics and security has come into sharp focus with conflicts. The range of challenges for energy policy is diverse and exciting. The Energy Policy Course is designed to review the broad interconnection between global economic growth, energy resource supply, geopolitical energy security, climate change and the development of energy policy, and to review the technologies and economics of energy production, transmission, distribution and consumption/conservation. No topic-driven content is covered during the course; rather, the students investigated an issue and the course focused on the development of analytical thinking and research skills. The organization of the seminar is the following:

  1. Presentation of the fundamentals of energy policies, followed by a discussion of supply and demand policies. Throughout the discussion special emphasis will be put on energy policies and their interface with other policies …,
  2. Determining a research focus: The goal is to nurture students through the process of narrowing their topic, developing an effective economic research question and constructing a plan for their research.
  3. Beginning analysis: At this stage students have narrowed their issue to a specific economic question and searched relevant literature for areas of potential contribution.
  4. & .5 Evaluating evidence: The final stage of the course is dominated by a one-to-one meeting with the instructor. The students are deep into the development of their evidence their questions become project specific. It is more advantageous for students to individually with the instructor as issues arise.

  6. Bringing it all together: This final section of the course provides students with the opportunity to synthesize the components of their projects and receive a final set of reflective comments, from their peers.

  Learning outcomes :

  Through a research paper project, the course intends to provide students with the necessary skills to understand and analyze energy policies from different perspectives, ranging from users and energy firms to policymakers.

  Upon successfully completing the course the student should be able to

  - Realize how energy politics is designed and what it is supposed to achieve

  - Define global and national energy policy factors which promote energy transition

  These issues will be explored in weekly lectures and discussion sessions, several class discussions, and an individual research paper. Through active engagement and interaction in these pursuits by students from a variety of disciplines, a broad perspective on key energy policies issues will be acquired.

  Assessment :

  Final individual paper (100%) . Th research paper project will be handed out at the end of the semester. It must be must a 15-20 page typed document and must be done individually. All the course is built to help student to write their research paper.

  Market Finance Chapter I. Introduction and Reminders The aim of this chapter is to (i) review the fundamentals as regards the functioning of financial markets and (ii) take stock of the impact of human activities on the environment, focusing in particular on climate change.

  Chapter II. The material effect of environmental risks on financial markets The chapter reviews recent studies on the physical and environmental transition risks, socially responsible investment and its motivations (Riedl and Smeets (2017)) and the major challenges of environmental finance, especially regarding regulatory projects and the design of guidelines to good practices (TCFD (2017), HLEG (2018)). The academic literature on companies' cost of capital in relation to their environmental impact is reviewed (Derwall et al. (2005), Renneboog et al. (2008), Sharfman and Fernando (2008), Capelle-Blancard and Laguna (2010), ElGhoul et al. (2011), Chava (2014), Kruger (2015), In et al. (2018), Capelle-Blancard et al. (2019), Zerbib (2020)).

  Chapter III. Investors' environmental and sustainable practices This chapter deals with the practices of institutional investors of several kinds (Kruger et al. (2018)): insurance companies, pension funds, banks and asset managers (Andersson et al. (2016)). It focuses on various methods of sustainable investment, such as exclusion (Hong and Kacperczyk (2009)), ESG screening, corporate engagement (Dimson et al. (2015) and Hoepner et al. (2018)), and impact investing. It includes an analysis of telecoupling and investors' responsibility in activities with a high environmental impact (Scholtens (2017) and Galaz et al. (2018)) as well as investors' ability to make corporate practices greener (Heinkel et al. (2001)).

  Chapter IV. Financing green assets Here the focus is on the various securities available for financing green projects: green bonds (Flammer (2018), Paranque and Revelli (2019), Zerbib (2019)), project bonds, sustainable infrastructure, real estate, green funds, and labels.

  Chapter V. Measuring the environmental impact of investments Presentation of the metrics available, their strengths and limitations: the carbon footprint, carbon intensity, green share, brown share and stranded asset issues (Trinks et al. (2018)), avoided emissions, 2-degree alignment, and the Net Environmental Contribution (NEC).

  Chapter VI. Central Banking and Green Finance This chapter deals with the reasons why central banks are concerned about the environmental impact of investments and financial markets, their ability to integrate the management of this additional systemic risk into their mandate (see Benoît Coeure's speech at the ECB in November 2018, Campiglio (2016)) and the limitations of this exercise.
