Industrial policy has been one of the most heated issues in the history of development. It was viewed as a tool to stimulate activity, but debating what and how to incentivize is the wrong question. Ricardo Hausmann says the new industrial policy is an information revelation process about the state of possibilities, the nature of the obstacles and figuring out whether you can sort out the obstacles so that these new activities can take over.
Hausmann explains why industrial policy is all about the increase of productivity and not profitability of firms. Productivity is a win-win and a sound basis for policy. Profitability is a win-lose and is not sustainable in any kind of decent political system.

Comment from our editors:

An excellent introduction to the new industrial policy. It is certainly a good introduction for beginners to further advanced material.

Le débat économique fait rage sur la gestion à adopter de cette dette Covid mais, pour en discuter, encore faut-il poser le bon diagnostic : quel est l’effet d’un déficit public ?

Ce petit récap propose quelques bases de macroéconomie à ceux qui souhaitent s’emparer de ces questions hautement politiques." 2021 Level: débutant Petit récap macro par temps de crise pour ne pas se faire enfumer Alban Pellegris Le blog de L’association AMIES - Alternatives Économiques Aim of this intensive workshop is 1.) to introduce the participants to the macroeconomic workings of the climate crisis as the background of sustainable finance; 2.) to introduce financial assets with ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria attached to them and their markets and important institutional players; 3.) to provide a critical perspective on the current setup of sustainable finance; 4.) and to work on in-depth case studies illustrating the workings on ESG-finance markets, its emitters and traders as well as their macroeconomic implications. 2022 Level: débutant Sustainable Finance – Hoax or necessity.
