Cross-border cooperation in the electricity sector - the Nordic exampleGlobal UtmaningThe document discusses cross-border cooperation in the electricity sector through the Nordic example. It outlines the history of interconnections between Nordic countries dating back to 1963, which grew over time through the establishment of Nordel in 1992 to facilitate cooperation between transmission system operators. Nordel later joined ENTSO-E and helped coordinate the decarbonization of the power sector in the region through increasing renewable energy and electrification while maintaining a reliable grid through 2050. The context of cooperation has become more complex over time with new drivers like emissions pricing and public demand, as well as obstacles around political will, governance capacity, and handling interdependencies across borders.
Nordic Energy ways in Europe – Clean, Competitive and ConnectedGlobal UtmaningSeminar: NORDIC ENERGY WAYS – WHAT‘S IN IT FOR US?

Combating the Debt AddictionGlobal UtmaningThis document discusses the role of private debt and credit growth in economic stability. It argues that pre-crisis orthodoxy viewed low inflation as sufficient for stability, but private debt growth fueled asset price booms and recessions. Credit growth for real estate and existing assets does not directly stimulate GDP but can inflate prices. To promote stability, policy should constrain private leverage growth and the dominance of real estate lending through higher bank capital requirements and countercyclical policies.
Combating the Debt Addiction Global UtmaningUlf Dahlsten gave a presentation at the Stockholm School of Economics on March 22nd, 2014 about combating debt addiction and stabilizing the financial system. He argued that more needs to be done as the system has issues like extreme pro-cyclicality, underestimating endogenous risks, excessive money creation, growing private debts, asset inflation, and complexity. He focused on these problems and asked questions about addressing excessive money creation, the danger of private debt buildup, curbing asset inflation without hurting the economy, and what central banks, regulators, and politicians can do to help.

Trust in a green economyGlobal UtmaningThe document defines a green economy as one that is low-carbon, resource-efficient, and socially inclusive according to the UNEP. It also includes a diagram showing the interdependencies between different levels of trust, politics, markets, resources, and social relations that are necessary for a sustainable green economy. Weaknesses in any of these areas can undermine the transition to a green economy.
Research questions for a green, inclusive economyGlobal UtmaningThis document summarizes a presentation on research questions for a green, inclusive economy. The presentation covered three main topics:
1. Metrics - It discussed developing alternative metrics to GDP like national wealth accounts and a prosperity metric based on solving human problems.
2. Vision - It addressed the need for systems thinking and considering renewable vs. exhaustible natural resources.
3. Transition - Key research questions were presented around the politics and innovation required for an economic transition, including governance mechanisms, necessary institutions, and business models within planetary boundaries.
The presentation concluded by noting the career prospects for economists to work on these important transition questions and called for mutual understanding between disciplines.
A critical review and considerations: Green economy, what is it?Global UtmaningThis document provides a summary and critique of a proposal to build models for a sustainable Germany by 2040. It notes that the proposal makes some good points but its economic understanding is still simplistic and it is insufficient in design and scope. The summary recommends using systems analysis throughout, integrated assessment modeling to analyze past data and scenarios, and involving experienced systems analysts. It concludes that the proposal has some blind spots and needs to better connect the whole system, address issues like population and trade, and engage policy/government to enable real paradigm shifts.

EU definition: net borrowing (+)/net lending (-) of general government is the difference between the revenue and the expenditure of the general
government sector. The general government sector comprises the following subsectors: central government, state government, local government, and
social security funds. GDP used as a denominator is the gross domestic product at current market prices.
