Download or read book The Nexus of Climate and Monetary Policy Evidence from the Middle East and Central Asia written by Nordine Abidi and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the effects of climate shocks on inflation and monetary policy in the Middle East and Central Asia (ME&CA) region. We first introduce a theoretical model to understand the impact of climate risks on headline and food inflation. In particular, the model shows how climate shocks could affect the path of policy rates through food prices. We then use local projections to estimate the impact of climate shocks on headline and food inflation. The results show that price stability is more easily achievable under positive climate conditions. Overall, our findings shed new light on the importance of considering climate-related supply shocks when designing monetary policy, particularly in countries where food makes up a significant part of the CPI-basket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a longtemps vendu à l’opinion publique l’illusion aujourd’hui hautement inflammable d’une transition écologique merveilleuse, qui créerait emplois et richesses pour tous, tout en redonnant à la nature son lustre d’antan. Cette caverne d’Ali Baba n’existe pas. Au contraire, quoi que l’on fasse, la lutte pour le climat est attentatoire au pouvoir d’achat. Elle nous oblige à nous détourner à moyen terme de cette énergie fossile qui a fait notre fortune pendant deux siècles et à demander aux pays en développement d’en faire autant. Cette guerre pour le climat ne pourra se gagner sans la mobilisation de chacun. Cela nécessite d’appliquer le principe pollueur-payeur, en imposant un prix universel du carbone reflétant la valeur du dommage qu’il génère, quitte à le compenser pour les plus pauvres. Mais les Français sont-ils prêts à sacrifier un peu de leur bien-être aujourd’hui pour améliorer beaucoup le bien-être d’autrui, même si cet autrui n’est essentiellement pas français, et qu’il n’est probablement même pas encore né ? Pour la plupart, ici et ailleurs, la fin du mois passe avant la fin du monde. Ce constat dérangeant pose la question de nos responsabilités envers l’humanité.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plutôt que de se joindre au chœur de ceux qui dénoncent le catastrophisme du discours écologique en ne voulant voir en lui que le recyclage culturel de peurs ancestrales, l’auteur de ce livre a choisi de prendre au sérieux le rapprochement proposé entre le discours écologique et les discours qui, à un moment ou un autre de l’histoire, ont cherché à élaborer une représentation de la fin du monde et de l’humanité – de l’Apocalypse biblique à Hiroshima, en passant par le mythe du Déluge et les spéculations des scolastiques sur l’hypothèse de l’annihilation du monde, sans oublier les récits de fiction mettant en scène la disparition de l’humanité dans un monde post-apocalyptique. En prenant ces divers textes au pied de la lettre et en les décomposant en leurs éléments génériques respectifs, la généalogie du discours écologique cherche tout d’abord à mettre au jour un certain nombre d’éléments analogiques, puis à élucider la logique selon laquelle des transferts de schèmes discursifs se sont effectués subrepticement d’un domaine de réflexion à un autre, conduisant parfois à méconnaître la spécificité des problèmes environnementaux auxquels nous sommes confrontés.

Download or read book The Violence of Modernity written by Debarati Sanyal and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Violence of Modernity turns to Charles Baudelaire, one of the most canonical figures of literary modernism, in order to reclaim an aesthetic legacy for ethical inquiry and historical critique. Works of modern literature are commonly theorized as symptomatic responses to the trauma of history. In a climate that tends to privilege crisis over critique, Debarati Sanyal argues that it is urgent to rethink literary experience in terms that recall its contestatory potential. Examining Baudelaire's poems afresh, she shifts the focus of critical attention toward an account of modernism as an active engagement with violence, specifically the violence of history in nineteenth-century France. Sanyal analyzes a literary current that uses the traditional hallmarks of modernism—irony, intertextuality, self-reflexivity, and formalism—to challenge the historical violence of modernity. Baudelaire and the committed ironists writing in his wake teach us how to read and resist the violence of history, and thereby to challenge the melancholy tenor of our contemporary "wound culture." In a series of provocative readings, Sanyal presents Baudelaire's poetry as an aesthetic form that contests historical violence through rhetorical strategies of complicity, counterviolence, and critique. The book develops a new account of Baudelaire's significance as a modernist by dislodging him both from his traditional status as a practitioner of "art for art's sake" and from his more recent incarnation as the poet of trauma. Following her extended analysis of Baudelaire's poetry, Sanyal in later chapters considers a number of authors influenced by his strategies—including Rachilde, Virginie Despentes, Albert Camus, and Jean-Paul Sartre—to examine the relevance of their interventions for our current climate of trauma and terror. The result is a study that underscores how Baudelaire's legacy continues to energize literary engagements with the violence of modernity.

Download or read book Economic and Financial Decisions under Risk written by Louis Eeckhoudt and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-30 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understanding of risk and how to deal with it is an essential part of modern economics. Whether liability litigation for pharmaceutical firms or an individual's having insufficient wealth to retire, risk is something that can be recognized, quantified, analyzed, treated--and incorporated into our decision-making processes. This book represents a concise summary of basic multiperiod decision-making under risk. Its detailed coverage of a broad range of topics is ideally suited for use in advanced undergraduate and introductory graduate courses either as a self-contained text, or the introductory chapters combined with a selection of later chapters can represent core reading in courses on macroeconomics, insurance, portfolio choice, or asset pricing. The authors start with the fundamentals of risk measurement and risk aversion. They then apply these concepts to insurance decisions and portfolio choice in a one-period model. After examining these decisions in their one-period setting, they devote most of the book to a multiperiod context, which adds the long-term perspective most risk management analyses require. Each chapter concludes with a discussion of the relevant literature and a set of problems. The book presents a thoroughly accessible introduction to risk, bridging the gap between the traditionally separate economics and finance literatures.

Download or read book Global Carbon Pricing written by Peter Cramton and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-06-16 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why the traditional “pledge and review” climate agreements have failed, and how carbon pricing, based on trust and reciprocity, could succeed. After twenty-five years of failure, climate negotiations continue to use a “pledge and review” approach: countries pledge (almost anything), subject to (unenforced) review. This approach ignores everything we know about human cooperation. In this book, leading economists describe an alternate model for climate agreements, drawing on the work of the late Nobel laureate Elinor Ostrom and others. They show that a “common commitment” scheme is more effective than an “individual commitment” scheme; the latter depends on altruism while the former involves reciprocity (“we will if you will”). The contributors propose that global carbon pricing is the best candidate for a reciprocal common commitment in climate negotiations. Each country would commit to placing charges on carbon emissions sufficient to match an agreed global price formula. The contributors show that carbon pricing would facilitate negotiations and enforcement, improve efficiency and flexibility, and make other climate policies more effective. Additionally, they analyze the failings of the 2015 Paris climate conference. Contributors Richard N.

Download or read book Vulnerable written by Colleen M. Flood and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, has infected people in 212 countries so far and on every continent except Antarctica. Vast changes to our home lives, social interactions, government functioning and relations between countries have swept the world in a few months and are difficult to hold in one’s mind at one time. That is why a collaborative effort such as this edited, multidisciplinary collection is needed. This book confronts the vulnerabilities and interconnectedness made visible by the pandemic and its consequences, along with the legal, ethical and policy responses. These include vulnerabilities for people who have been harmed or will be harmed by the virus directly and those harmed by measures taken to slow its relentless march; vulnerabilities exposed in our institutions, governance and legal structures; and vulnerabilities in other countries and at the global level where persistent injustices harm us all. Hopefully, COVID-19 will forces us to deeply reflect on how we govern and our policy priorities; to focus preparedness, precaution, and recovery to include all, not just some. Published in English with some chapters in French.

Download or read book Non Expected Utility and Risk Management written by Christian Gollier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expected utility provides simple, testable properties of the optimum behavior that should be displayed by risk-averse individuals in risky decisions. Simultaneously, given the existence of paradoxes under the expected utility paradigm, expected utility can only be regarded as an approximation of actual behavior. A more realistic model is needed. This is particularly true when treating attitudes toward small probability events: the standard situation for insurable risks. Non-Expected Utility and Risk Management examines whether the existing results in insurance economics are robust to more general models of behavior under risk.
