Overview of Outlook USD/JPY clearly fell in December. In line with the concerns I have consistently expressed in this report, the prices of risky assets have been forced to undergo a correction in response to the increase in U.S. interest rates. The Fed had until recently remained indifferent to this asset price volatility, but it may finally no longer be able to ignore the fluctuations. This is evidenced by the fact that Committee members were forced in December to downgrade their dot plot projections for the entire forecasting period. Market predictions, however, are even more pessimistic than those suggested by the revised dot plot, with some even predicting the end of rate hikes altogether.

  • Yellow Vests, Carbon Tax Aversion, and Biased Beliefs
    YELLOW VESTS,CARBON TAX AVERSION, AND BIASED BELIEFS* Thomas Douenne and Adrien Fabre† Abstract This paper seeks to understand how beliefs endogenously form and determine attitudes towards policies. Using a new survey and National households’ survey data, we investigate the case of car- bon taxation in France in the context of the Yellow Vests movement that started against it. We find that French people would largely reject a Tax & Dividend policy, i.e. a carbon tax whose revenues are redistributed uniformly to all households. However, they also overestimate the negative impact of the scheme on their purchasing power, wrongly think it is regressive, and do not perceive it as environmentally effective. Using information about the scheme as instrument to identify robust causal effects, our econometric analysis shows that correcting these three biases would suffice to generate majority approval. Yet, we find that people’s beliefs are persistent and their revisions biased towards pessimism so that only a small minority can be convinced. Indeed, if overly pes- simistic beliefs cause tax rejection, they also result from it through motivated reasoning, which manifests what we define as “tax aversion”.

  • Macron, the Yellow Vests and the National Debate. Playing for Time, Not Solving the Political Legitimacy Crisis
    NO. 17 MARCH 2019 Introduction Macron, the Yellow Vests and the National Debate Playing for Time, Not Solving the Political Legitimacy Crisis Ronja Kempin and Paweł Tokarski France’s yellow vests (gilets jaunes) are heterogeneous, make contradictory demands, and refuse to give up. Since November 2018 they have been demonstrating for more purchasing power and greater democracy. Having made financial concessions, Presi- dent Emmanuel Macron is now playing for time. He has initiated a “grand national debate”, in which all citizens were called on to voice their opinions concerning future political issues. This debate is likely to help him win the European Parliament (EP) elections in May and facilitate splintering the yellow vests. To avert further protests that could paralyse the country, delegitimise his government and ensure that his presidency fails, Macron needs to improve the way he communicates his reform agenda. Merely playing for time will not make France reformable and governable for this president, any more than it did for his predecessors. The protests never end. Since 17 November are held by the rural lower-middle class, 2018, people wearing high-visibility yel- including craftsmen and women and shop- low vests have been taking to the streets keepers.

  • Yellow Vests, Pessimistic Beliefs, and Carbon Tax Aversion
    YELLOW VESTS,PESSIMISTIC BELIEFS, AND CARBON TAX AVERSION* Thomas Douenne and Adrien Fabre† Link to most recent version Abstract Using a representative survey, we find that after the Yellow Vests movement, French people would largely reject a Tax & Dividend policy, i.e. a carbon tax whose revenues are redistributed uni- formly to each adult. However, they overestimate their net monetary loss, wrongly think the policy is regressive, and do not perceive it as environmentally effective. We show that changing people’s beliefs about the tax incidence and effectiveness can largely increase support. Yet, beliefs change little following our informational treatments. Indeed, if overly pessimistic beliefs cause tax rejec- tion, they also result from it through motivated reasoning, which manifests what we define as “tax aversion”.

  • As Macron Prepares New Repressive Measures, Yellow Vests and Red Unions Strike Together
    As Macron Prepares New Repressive Measures, Yellow Vests and Red Unions Strike Together On Tues, Feb. 5, as the Macron government pushed harsh repressive laws against demonstrators through the National Assembly, the Yellow Vests joined with France’s unions for the first time in a day-long, nation-wide “General Strike.” At the very moment when in Paris the lower house was voting to implement Macron’s proposed laws designed to suppress public demonstrations (a legal right protected in both the French Constitution and the U.N. Human Rights Declaration) tens of thousands of their constituents were out in the streets all over the country demonstrating and striking against Macron’s authoritarian, neo-liberal government. The demonstrators’ demands ranged from better salaries and retirement benefits, restoration of public services, equitable tax codes, an end to police brutality, and banning the use of “flash-balls” on demonstrators, to Macron’s resignation and the instauration of participatory democracy. Deaf to the angry people’s legitimate grievances, unwilling to deal with them, Macron has given himself no other choice than to legislate new repressive legal restrictions to suppress their continued free expression. This resort to open repression can only serve to discredit the government’s handling of a crisis largely of its own making, treating a spontaneous social movement among the 99% as if it were a terrorist or fascist conspiracy. The unpopular President’s repressive tactics will inevitably backfire on him. The French are extremely jealous of their liberties, and Macron’s monarchical arrogance can only remind them of how their ancestors dealt with Louis XVI.

  • Initial Assessment Report for Nigeria Minamata Convention on Mercury Initial Assessment Report for Nigeria
    MINAMATA CONVENTION ON MERCURY INITIAL ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR NIGERIA MINAMATA CONVENTION ON MERCURY INITIAL ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR NIGERIA June, 2017 MINAMATA CONVENTION ON MERCURY INITIAL ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR NIGERIA FOREWORD Mercury (Hg) does not only pose significant local contamination problems, but its elemental form can be oxidized and travel long distances through the atmosphere and /or deposited in ecosystems. In aquatic systems, mercury from local and distant sources can be converted into methylmercury, a serious neurotoxin. High-dose exposure to methylmercury can lead to significant neurological damage, heart disease and fatalities. Low-dose exposure has been linked to developmental delays and neurological damage affecting brain and muscle capacity, especially in small children. Thus, mercury remains a major global, regional and national challenge in terms of threat to human health and the environment. Although, mercury is released into the environment through natural phenomena, the bulk of environmental mercury now comes from human activities. In Nigeria, the major sources of mercury emissions and releases are through the following economic activities: artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), use and improper disposal of mercury containing products and their wastes, cement production, oil & gas exploration and exploitation activities. In support of global measure to address the increasing level of mercury in the environment, Nigeria joined the rest of the world to negotiate the Minamata Convention on Mercury-a global, legally binding treaty; and, having agreed to the text of the Convention, signed it on 10th October 2013. The Federal Executive Council (FEC) on 12th April 2017 approved the ratification of the Convention and the Federal Ministry of Justice is currently preparing the instrument of ratification for Mr.

Especially carbon pricing has met strong resistance. Among other factors, climate policy acceptance can be predicted by one’s subjective perceptions of a policy being (un)just which are influenced by the individual’s personal characteristics and situational factors. Based on an in-depth case study of the contestation of a just climate policy by the French Yellow Vests movement, this study seeks to analyze citizens’ justice perceptions as determinant of climate policy acceptance.

  • Beyond Political Divides: Analyzing Public Opinion on Carbon Taxation in Switzerland
    IRENE Working Paper 20-11 Beyond political divides: Analyzing public opinion on carbon taxation in Switzerland Laurent Ott, Mehdi Farsi, and Sylvain Weber Beyond political divides: analyzing public opinion on carbon taxation in Switzerland* Laurent Ott Mehdi Farsi Sylvain Weber§ November 16, 2020 Abstract This paper investigates public opinion on the Swiss CO2 levy and its 2020 revision by using a discrete choice experiment answered by a sample of 586 respondents living in Switzerland. The ex- periment is designed to elicit citizen preferences among various taxation attributes and is followed by a referendum voting experiment on various CO2 levy proposals. Based on latent class modeling approaches, we find that the population is composed by two distinct but relatively preference pro- files: Environmentalists and Neutrals. Respondents belonging to the first group tend to favor higher carbon tax rates and a redistribution of proceeds benefiting low-income individuals, whereas those in the second group prefer lower rates and a uniform redistribution of proceeds across all taxpayers. Findings from the voting experiment point to a general support among the Environmentalists, but an uncertain approval from the Neutral group. Keywords: Carbon tax, preference heterogeneity, public opinion, latent class, discrete choice exper- iment JEL classification: C25, D72, D78, H23, Q48, Q54 *This research is part of the activities of SCCER CREST (Swiss Competence Center for Energy Research), which is financially supported by Innosuisse under Grant No. KTI. 1155000154.
