Modelling the transition to sustainable economic structures

Objective

In line with the Presidency Conclusions of the Goeteborg European Council, which emphasise the role of sustainable development for policy, making in the European Union, the project aims at building a network of excellence that serves as a communication platform for researchers interested in modelling the transition to sustainable economic structures.
The work will focus on
(i) comparison activities to identify the comparative advantages of the models,
(ii) the crucial role of stock-flow interactions together with endogenously stimulated technological progress and
(iii) the social and institutional dimensions of the transition process. Thus the project activities are expected to provide guidelines, as to which economic structures are able to give support to EU policies that generate economic welfare without creating burdens on social, economic, and environmental resources.
