Macroeconomic and environmental impacts of circular economy innovation policy

Hettie Boonman et al.

Summary: In this paper, the macroeconomic and environmental impacts of a shift towards a circular economy driven by innovation are quantified, with a focus on the distributional impacts across regions and sectors. Unlike most existing literature, the study utilizes a wide range of circular economy objectives from the Circular Economy Strategic Research Agenda published by the European Commission. The research shows that while various elements of a circular future have positive economic and environmental effects, a comprehensive set of measures is necessary to address a wide range of pollutants. Additionally, it highlights the significant distributional effects of transitioning to a circular economy, emphasizing the need for complementary redistribution policies to ensure feasibility and social acceptance.

Tools for a circular economy: Assessing waste taxation in a CGE multi-pollutant framework

Jaume Freire-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the economic and environmental effects of landfill and incineration taxes in Spain using a detailed computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. The findings suggest that these taxes have limited economic impact while effectively reducing various environmental impacts.

Growth incentives and devolved fiscal systems

Katerina Lisenkova et al.

Summary: This paper examines a variety of stylized devolved fiscal systems for funding the devolved Scottish government, aiming to identify schemes that provide the most effective incentives for growth-promoting policies. However, simulations using a computable general equilibrium model did not yield a clear ranking of devolved fiscal systems in terms of growth incentives. Surprisingly, tax-sharing regimes may not necessarily enhance growth incentives compared to more basic block grants.

Macroeconomic and environmental consequences of circular economy measures in a small open economy

J. Brusselaers et al.

Summary: This study explores the impact of fiscal policies supporting lifetime extension through repair activities on the uptake of circular economy measures in a small open economy like Belgium. While different fiscal policy types can steer an economy towards circularity, their effects on the macroeconomic structure and level of circularity may vary. It is found that CO2 equivalent emissions increase from a production perspective but decrease from a consumption perspective due to the substitution of international activities by local circular activities. Policy-makers should prioritize their macroeconomic goals and choose fiscal policies accordingly.

Nudging and Other Behaviourally Based Policies as Enablers for Environmental Sustainability

Marta Santos Silva

Summary: Traditional regulatory techniques are not effective in achieving behavior change for environmental sustainability. Governments around the world have started incorporating behaviorally informed considerations in policy and law making, leading to the emergence of alternative regulatory tools such as nudges. While the effectiveness of green nudges has been widely reported, their practical and ethical implications have been neglected in academic research.

Underestimated environmental benefits of tailings resource utilization: Evidence from a life cycle perspective

Dongfang Guo et al.

Summary: Mineral resources are crucial for economic and social development. The comprehensive utilization of mining tailings can contribute to environmental and carbon reduction benefits, relieving resource pressures and helping achieve carbon peaking and neutrality goals. This study provides a reference for environmental impact assessments of industrial solid waste and policy guidance for industrial planning.

Converting waste plastics into construction applications: A business perspective

Liancheng Li et al.

Summary: Efforts have been made to incorporate waste plastics back into the supply chain, particularly in the construction industry. Market demand is found to be the key driver for the conversion of waste plastics into recycled materials. However, challenges such as lack of market demand, standards, and excess recycling capacity still exist.

Macroeconomic, social and environmental impacts of a circular economy up to 2050: A meta-analysis of prospective studies

Glenn A. Aguilar-Hernandez et al.

Summary: This paper reviews over 300 circular economy scenarios and finds that by 2030, implementing ambitious circular economy scenarios could lead to a 'win-win-win' situation with marginal or incremental changes in GDP and employment, while significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Additionally, the paper discusses modeling features such as resource taxes, technology changes, and consumption patterns that have the greatest impact on GDP, job creation, and CO2 emissions.

Intelligent data-driven approach for enhancing preliminary resource planning in industrial construction

Lingzi Wu et al.

Summary: Industrial construction projects often use fast-tracking, which may lead to resource plans that do not reflect true project design. This study proposes a data-driven approach using historical resource data and machine learning to classify construction modules and summarize resource requirements, enhancing the accuracy of preliminary resource planning.

Circular economy: advancement of European Union countries

Ewa Mazur-Wierzbicka

Summary: The European Union has identified a two-speed Europe in terms of countries' advancement towards a circular economy, with leading countries such as Germany and Belgium, and slower progress seen in Central and Eastern European countries. Different levels of advancement are a result of diverse development strategies and varying levels of social and economic development among EU countries.

Summary: This paper compares the effects of a resource tax and a carbon tax. The study finds that a carbon tax is more effective in reducing energy consumption and pollution emissions, while the impact of a resource tax on the economy is limited.

Circular economy-induced global employment shifts in apparel value chains: Job reduction in apparel production activities, job growth in reuse and recycling activities

Lars Repp et al.

Summary: There is a lack of evidence-based discussion on the global social impacts, both intended and unintended, of the European Union's transition towards the Circular Economy. This paper evaluates the global employment shifts induced by the Circular Economy, focusing on the apparel value chains imported to the EU from top exporting countries. The results suggest that the benefits and disadvantages of the circular transition appear to be unevenly distributed, with non-EU stakeholders bearing the main adverse effects.

How fiscal policies affect energy systems: the importance of an 'environmental social wage'

Peter G. McGregor et al.

Summary: Using a regional computable general equilibrium model, the study examines the impact of increased public environmental expenditure on CO2 emissions. The results suggest that an economic stimulus could lead to reduced emissions if the population values the environmental amenity and this is reflected in wage-bargaining behavior. Establishing an 'environmental social wage' system may attract support for public spending on environmental improvement amidst growing concerns over climate change.

Resilience in a behavioural/Keynesian regional model

Grant Allan et al.

Summary: This paper constructs a regional dynamic macroeconomic model with an eclectic, broadly Keynesian and behavioural flavour, parameterized on Scottish data. The simulations show that the heuristic-based, imperfect-information investment models produce more negative, longer-lasting and unstable adjustment paths compared to the mainstream perfect foresight formulation in response to a temporary negative export shock.
