Carbon Policy, Inequality, and the Macroeconomics of the Green Transition
Alessandro Sardone (Halle Institute for Economic Research) examines how, despite the EU’s unwavering commitment to net-zero by 2050 and carbon pricing as its central policy instrument, the macroeconomic and distributional consequences of the transition remain poorly understood — particularly how rising energy costs ripple through production, inflation, and household incomes across income groups, and how policy design ultimately shapes these dynamics.

Matteo Ferrazzi, Fotios Kalantzis, and Sanne Zwart (EIB) introduce a novel, multidimensional index that assesses climate risk exposure across more than 170 countries
Do common shocks drive changes in aggregate emissions intensity?
Fulvia Marotta (Smith School, DNB) , Xiyu Ren (Smith School and INET), and Francois Lafond (INET) examine industry-level emissions intensity in the UK from 1990 to 2022, using emissions data constructed from activity-based environmental accounts and find evidence of co-movement.
Understanding Climate Policy Stringency, Effectiveness, and Public Support
Angelika von Dulong (Humboldt University) and Achim Hagen (Humboldt University) shed light on what drives policy stringency, public support, and the effectiveness of different climate policy measures.
Warning Words in a Warming World
Emanuele Campiglio (University of Bologna, EIEE, LSE), Jerome Deyris (Sciences Po), Davide Romelli (Trinity College Dublin) and Ginevra Scalisi (Sant’Anna Pisa) present a new dataset on central banks’ communication about climate change and ask what drives institutions engagement with environmental issues, how do they frame these new challenges within their existing mandates and how do financial markets respond to this expanding scope of central bank communication.
