SCOR Foundation Webinar | Green- or de-growth: Is green growth possible?
By Philippe Aghion, Professor at the College de France and at INSEAD - November 27, 2024
On November 27, 2024, the SCOR Foundation for Science held a webinar titled “Green- or de-growth: Is green growth possible?”
The webinar was delivered by Philippe Aghion, a Professor at the College de France and at INSEAD, a visiting professor at the London School of Economics, and a fellow of the Econometric Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on the economics of growth. With Peter Howitt, he pioneered the so-called Schumpeterian Growth paradigm which was subsequently used to analyze the design of growth policies and the role of the state in the growth process. Much of this work is summarized in their joint book Endogenous Growth Theory (MIT Press, 1998) and The Economics of Growth (MIT Press, 2009), in his book with Rachel Griffith on Competition and Growth (MIT Press, 2006), and in his survey “What Do We Learn from Schumpeterian Growth Theory” (joint with U. Akcigit and P. Howitt).
His research project “Green Innovation to fight Climate Change” financed by the SCOR Foundation is currently underway (2023-2026):
