SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar - "The role of government policy to incentivise technology innovation to meet the climate change challenge" Professor Laura Diaz Anadon
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 4 March 2020\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Laura Diaz Anadon\nTalk Title: “The role of government policy to incentivise technology innovation to meet the climate change challenge”\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nThe next St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar in the series on the Economics of Austerity\, will be held on 4 March 2020. Professor Laura Diaz Anadon will give a talk on “The role of government policy to incentivise technology innovation to meet the climate change challenge”. The seminar will be held in the Ramsden Room at St Catharine’s College from 6.00-7.30 pm. All are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Cambridge Judge Business School. \nSpeaker:\nLaura Diaz Anadon is Professor of Climate Change Policy at the University of Cambridge. She joined the Centre for Environment\, Energy and Natural Resource Governance (C-EENRG) at the Department of Land Economy in September 2017 after a year in the Department in Politics and International Studies and three years as an Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Professor Anadon is a lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\n(IPCC) Working Group on Climate Mitigation. She was selected as a member of the Innovation Caucus to advise INNOVATE UK\, and has engaged with policymakers throughout the world. She has also contributed to UN\, IEA\, EU\, World Bank and OECD reports. The recipient of many awards and scholarships\, including the Fundacion Banco Sabadell Award for the Best Spanish Economics researcher under 40 in 2018. Professor Anadon sits on various editorial boards\, including the Nature Energy. \nTalk Overview:\nProfessor Diaz Anadon’s research cuts across traditional disciplines\, aiming to help governments to make effective technology choices\, develop impactful policies and build institutions which tackle climate change. Her team researches energy and environment-oriented technological innovation\, identifying and quantifying the diverse benefits that derive from policies designed to promote it; mapping the complex factors that contribute to it; and creating tools for policymakers and analysts to manage the systemic uncertainties that accompany it. Professor Diaz Anadon will discuss her research on public innovation institutions in the climate and energy space\, which has included in-depth studies in the United States\, China and India. She will discuss the extent to which\, empirically\, different types of R&D funding mechanisms\, partnerships with cleantech startups\, and deployment subsidies for renewable energy have led to better low carbon energy technologies\, new capabilities\, and new firm growth opportunities. She will discuss how can we build and resource effective\, empowered institutions able to tackle climate change more rapidly in a changing world in terms of industrial competitiveness\, with a particular role on the role of China. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (mk24@cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar - "The Economics of Getting to Net Zero " Richard Lewney
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 11 March 2020\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Richard Lewney\nTalk Title: “The Economics of Getting to Net Zero ”\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nThe next St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar in the series on the Economics of Austerity\, will be held on 11 March 2020. Richard Lewney will give a talk on “The Economics of Getting to Net Zero “. The seminar will be held in the Ramsden Room at St Catharine’s College from 6.00-7.30 pm. All are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Cambridge Judge Business School. \nSpeaker:\nRichard Lewney is Chair of Cambridge Econometrics. Over the past four years Richard Lewney has directed two major research projects for DG Energy to improve the methods of modelling the macroeconomic impacts of low-carbon policies. These have included a better treatment of the roles played by finance and innovation\, of regional and income distribution impacts\, and also of the relevance of other megatrends to the low-carbon transition. Over 2017-19 Richard Lewney has directed projects for the European Climate Foundation examining: (i) the technological costs and economic impacts of alternative pathways to a net-zero GHG emissions European economy by 2050 and (ii) the economic impacts of decarbonising road freight and car transport. Richard Lewney has previously directed a modelling analysis of the economic impact of environmental degradation to inform an assessment of the role that environmental risk factors could play in sovereign credit risk assessments (and for the UNEP Finance Initiative). \nTalk Overview:\nThe past year has seen some striking examples of extreme climatic events of the kind that scientists expect to grow in frequency and severity as global temperatures increase. It has also seen a strengthening of political activism in the climate strike movement and a flurry of activity among financial institutions seeking to understand their exposure to physical and transition risks. Neoclassical economics recognises environmental degradation as a classic example of an externality and frames its response in terms of correcting that market failure\, but the limitations of its marginal cost-benefit approach have been exposed in the climate change debate. This seminar explores the role that the key insights of Post-Keynesian and Schumpeterian economics (such as path dependence\, radical uncertainty\, heterogeneous actors\, the role of money and finance\, stock-flow consistency and endogenous technical change) are playing in forming an analysis of environmental policy that is better adapted to the challenge of tackling global warming. The seminar will discuss what a net zero energy system and economy might look like in 2050\, the policies needed to get there\, how to assess the economic impacts and what the key obstacles are that need to be overcome. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (mk24@cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query
