Our Mission
Climate change is forcing our economy to rethink and change drastically.
Let's see it as an opportunity!
Our Focus
To grow or not to grow?
Over the past few years, the concept of Green Growth has become increasingly influential as a potential solution to tackling global ecological breakdown. However, in academia, it is strongly contested by proponents of Post-Growth and Degrowth, criticizing Green Growth’s central assumption that economic growth in the global North can be sustained while bringing humanity’s ecological footprint back into planetary boundaries.
Green
Macroeconomics
While the effects of climate change and loss in biodiversity are two of the biggest externalities of our industrial societies, they only play a minor role in macroeconomic modeling so far. As they will heavily shape our future, we see the necessity to discuss how macroeconomics can consider these issues.
Experimental Innovation Policy
Green innovation is the basis for facilitating structural change towards greener and cleaner economies. The current debate on how to promote green innovation most effectively delineates the conflict-line between market-based instruments versus state-led policy instruments for the development of green technologies.
