2022-12-19 How to ensure a just approach to retrofitting social housing?
authors:    /   /   / 
Widespread modernisation of social housing is essential if the country is to avoid exacerbating energy poverty in its cities. In Poland, the inhabitants of social housing estates are people with low and insecure incomes; their homes are often in poor condition and are usually heated ...
2022-11-22 Mapping the indirect employment of hard coal mining: a case study of Upper Silesia, Poland
authors:    /   /   / 
It is insufficient to calculate the number of jobs in the mining industry to determine the labour market effects of a coal phase-out. This paper estimates the scale of mining-related and mining-dependent jobs in Europe’s largest hard coal mining region: Upper Silesia. In addition, we ...
2022-05-09 The economic effects of stopping Russian energy import in Poland.
authors:    /   /   / 
We estimate the macroeconomic and distributional effects that a ban on fuel imports from Russia would have in Poland. We simulate the embargo as a hike in oil, gas and coal prices, and evaluate the macroeconomic effects with a dynamic general equilibrium model. We soft-link ...
2021-12-02 The anti-inflation shield or an energy voucher: how to compensate poor households for rising energy prices?
authors:    /   /   / 
The geopolitical situation and the EU's ambitious climate policy are increasing energy prices. And when these rise, they inflate the risk of poverty and inequality – especially among poorer households. The Anti-inflation Shield proposed by the Polish government in November 2021 is not a remedy ...
2021-06-17 The coal phase-out and the labour market transition pathways: the case of Poland
authors:    /   /   /   / 
We study the labour market transition pathways driven by the coal phase-out in Poland between 1990 and 2050. First, we apply the concept of branching points to describe the transformation of coal mining in the context of three labour market trends: structural changes, demographically driven ...
2021-03-31 How to reduce the social costs of coal mine closures?
authors:    /   /   / 
2021-01-12 How to improve the quality of life of the energy poor?
authors:    / 
2020-12-10 Energy poverty, housing conditions, and self-assessed health: evidence from Poland
authors:    /   /   / 
Inefficient heating and insufficient access to energy services can turn a shelter into a health hazard. We study how energy poverty associated with having substandard housing and ineffective heating is related to the risk of developing poor health in an urban context. We conducted a ...
2020-07-22 The influence of the 2050 carbon neutrality scenarios on the labour market in Upper Silesia
authors:    /   /   /   /   / 
The assumptions made in the analyzes depend on decarbonisation scenarios. IBS experts are currently relying on unofficial decarbonisation, taking into account their limitations. As new data and official scenarios become available, IBS will update its mining employment forecasts. The analysis was based on data obtained ...
2020-07-02 Distributional effects of emission pricing in a carbon-intensive economy: the case of Poland
authors:    /   /   /   / 
In this paper, we assess the distributional impact of introducing a carbon tax in Poland. We apply a two- step simulation procedure. First, we evaluate the economy-wide effects with a dynamic general equilibrium model. Second, we use a microsimulation model based on household budget survey ...
2020-01-13 Short- and long-run dynamics of energy demand
authors:    /   / 
The timing of the response of CO2 emissions to a carbon tax depends crucially on the timing of response of energy demand of changes in energy prices. In this paper, we investigate the path of changing energy demand from the moment of a change in ...
2019-07-18 Measuring energy poverty in Poland with the Multidimensional Energy Poverty Index
authors:    /   /   /   / 
Energy poverty is a complex problem that is generally caused by having a low income, having high energy costs, and/or living in a home with low energy efficiency. Various indicators capture these factors, but there is no consensus among researchers on which is the best ...
