Накратко на български

Икономическите модели, които стоят зад политиките за възобновяема енергия като слънчевата и вятърната, се анализират чрез примери от седем държави. Това помага за по-ефективното постигане на целите за преход към чиста енергия в Европа.

Pluralistic Economics for Development in Green Economic Enhancement

What is the problem/issue being addressed? 1) Determining which frameworks commonly used in ecological economics are best for devising policies for renewable energy uptake. 2) Specific policy recommendations for the greater European context. Why is it important for society? Policy prescriptions are linked with theoretical frameworks. Understanding this link is key to ensure that renewable energy targets are delivered efficiently and effectively. What are the overall objectives? The primary research objective is to determine which economic framework, or set of frameworks, has influenced the uptake of coherent and effective policy prescriptions for renewable energy sources, specifically for electricity generation. Renewable energy sources are those that can be readily replenished such as solar, wind, modern biomass, hydropower, and geothermal. Non-renewable sources are those that cannot be replenished readily such as crude oil, petroleum, natural gas, coal, and uranium. Secondary research objectives are required to fulfil the primary objective and are divided into two phases. Phase one includes the following: 1) deconstructing the assumptions underlying each economic framework’s conceptual components by analysing them in light of their ontology (character of the social world, or preanalytical foundation), epistemology (theory of knowledge), methodology which is the ontology and epistemology of a framework plus the methods it uses (mathematical modelling, hermeneutical, dialectical, etc.), and ideology (utilitarian, communitarian, etc.); 2) investigating the socio-historical, political, cultural, and economic dimensions of energy policy in seven countries—the UK, Germany, France, Norway, Sweden, Canada, and the US developing the materials into case studies of each country to define a measure of effective policy (renewable energy penetration in electrical generation that was driven by policy rather than other societal or geological drivers); and 3) assessing each economic framework against the case studies to determine which framework, or set of frameworks, best describes energy policy and practice, and the ways in which energy policy and practice are determined and change in each country.

Цел на проекта

The question of which economic framework (or sets of frameworks) is (are) appropriate for providing policy prescriptionsconducive to ecological sustainable has gained renewed interest within the community of ecological economists andpolitical economists. To help answer this question I propose to investigate the suitability of four economic frameworks —neoclassical environmental economics, non-Walrasian neoclassical environmental economics, institutional ecologicaleconomics, and ecological Marxian political economy, for providing effective and coherent policy prescriptions for renewableand sustainable energy resources, specifically for electricity generation.The inquiry will be both philosophical/methodological and empirical. The four frameworks will be interrogated against casestudies of the UK, Germany, Norway, France, Canada, and the US. The case studies will be comprised of analyses of thesocio-economic, historical, political, and cultural backdrop of energy resources in each country. The results of thisinterrogation will then be used to assess the suitability of the four frameworks for providing policy prescriptions conducive toecological sustainability with regards to their respective methodologies including ontology, epistemology, methodology (toinclude methods as well), and ideology. The case for methodological pluralism will be assessed and a notion of pluralismdeveloped for economic frameworks concerned with ecological sustainability.The benefits that will be gained from undertaking this research program at the ERA level will accrue to economists andsocial scientists first by giving them better analytical and conceptual tools, and all those, including policy makers, politicians,and business leaders who depend on those tools afterwards through better results.
