Public policies are striving to change usage and influence consumer practices. In the current context of energy and climate transition, this ambition is at the heart of regulation and the evaluation of its effectiveness.
However, sometimes behaviour resists the desired change, or the effects of regulation on practices are not what was initially anticipated, which reduces the impact of the measures implemented.
Following on from the work of the ‘Club of Rome’ in the early 1970s, the principle of economic players (manufacturers, distributors, importers, marketers) taking responsibility for all or part of waste management was introduced into French law in 1975. However, it was not until the early 1990s that a system for processing household packaging was established. From the 2000s onwards, other specialised channels were set up, depending on the characteristics of the waste to be treated.
The creation of independent regulators has most often been aimed at organising the opening up to competition and ensuring that markets function properly. To this mission, new roles have been added, in line with the economic, social and technical transformations of the sector. This has been the case with the advancement of laws and regulations relating to data management. The transition to a low-carbon economy, for which the National Low-Carbon Strategy (SNBC) is the roadmap, is another emblematic example of these transformations.
Using rigorous scientific methods, Institutional and Organizational Economics focuses on the theoretical and empirical analysis of institutions, organizations and contracts, as well as on the conditions under which these devices evolve.
Over the years, Institutional and Organizational Economics Academy has continually built up a dense and wide network of researchers and students interested in this dynamic field.
