December 05th 2024

Au moment où l'Intelligence Artificielle (IA) est au centre de toutes les questionnements, y compris normatifs, un rappel des grandes leçons de l'histoire des grandes innovations et des révolutions industrielles (avérées et prétendues) depuis le 19ème siècle n'est pas inutile, notamment pour mieux appréhender les implications économiques de court et long terme des paradigmes technologiques émergents.

 

Raouf Boucekkine est professeur d'économie à Aix-Marseille Université, membre d'Aix-Marseille School of Economics. Il a une longue carrière académique, en France et en Europe, où il a été professeur d’économie dans plusieurs universités et directeur d'institutions de recherche. Raouf Boucekkine s'intéresse à de nombreux sujets, notamment la croissance et le développement.

The True Price of CO₂

In 2024, a grim record was set: it was the hottest year ever recorded on Earth. The signs of climate upheaval are now visible to all, as global warming manifests itself in a rapid rise in extreme weather events. In theory, the solution is straightforward: we must stop burning fossil fuels. In practice, phasing out energy sources so firmly entrenched in contemporary societies is an immense challenge. To reduce CO₂ emissions, economists — trained in cost–benefit analysis — can help policymakers design strategies that are both effective and socially acceptable.
