Presentation

The Grenoble Applied Economics Laboratory (GAEL) is a joint research unit of CNRS, INRAE,Université Grenoble Alpes and Grenoble INP. GAEL's research focuses on sustainable innovation and consumption, particularly in the energy and agro-industrial sectors. The laboratory's key methodologies are micro-economic modeling (industrial economics, behavioral economics), experimental economics, econometrics, modeling applied to certain sectors such as energy, and qualitative analysis based on case studies.

Research is organized into three areas:

  • consumption: using experimental analysis in particular, the aim is to analyze the determinants of consumption behavior and the ability of different public policies to modify this behavior,

  • energy: the aim here is to understand and model economic equilibria in energy sectors and markets, understand institutional developments on an international scale and assess the impact of energy and climate policies in order to meet the challenges of sustainable development,

  • innovation: research aims to understand and model the strategies of players in different innovative industries, and to analyze and assess the impact of different innovation policies at regional, national and European levels.
