Levy Economics Institute Presents
Towards a Macroeconomics of the Just Transition to a Circular Economy
Wednesday, April 19, 2023
Blithewood Conference Room
2:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
2:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Oriol Vallès Codina, PhD, Research Fellow in Economics, Leeds University Business School
In this lecture, Oriol will evaluate how fiscal policy can accelerate decarbonization through tax-subsidy mixes. He will also discuss how price controls can stabilize economic fluctuations, and the economic spillovers of investment on health in middle-income economies.***
Oriol Vallès Codina (PhD New School for Social Research 2021) studies the macroeconomics of multi-sector growth and structural change in the context of the climate crisis and uneven development from the critical perspective of classical political economy. Previously at UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose as a postdoctoral research fellow, he currently works at Leeds University, UK, on the EU-funded JUST2CE project, which aims at developing a stock-flow consistent macroeconomic model of the socially just transition to a circular economy. With an interdisciplinary background in physics, evolutionary biology, economic anthropology, and heterodox macroeconomics, his research and teaching deploys a rich variety of mathematical and computational methods such as input-output analysis, complexity, dynamical systems, maximum entropy inference, Markov chains, agent-based modeling, stock-flow-consistent models, stochastic methods, and machine learning. He is also co-editing the interdisciplinary book Multiplicity of Time Scales in Complex Systems, forthcoming from Springer-Verlag press, with thirty contributions ranging from mathematics to physics and biology to music theory, archaeology, and history.
