Scenario modelling for assessing impacts of policy changes and socio-economic effects on ecosystem services of soils Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
What would change in terms of crop yield, greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration if drastically less manure were used in agriculture due to a changed (European) policy? This research question is being answered in the SIMPLE project. SIMPLE is an internal research project of EJP SOIL, the Joint Program to help make European agricultural soils more climate resilient. The European ...
Evaluation of climate change impacts and adaptation responses for marine activities Ghent University
Research and modeling to differentiate the primary impacts of climate change from the natural evolution at the North Sea scale. Then secondary impacts of climate change both on the ecological system of the North Sea as well as on social-economic activities will be assessed. Two extensive case-studies (coastal flooding, fisheries sector) have high extrapolation potential towards the global North Sea environment. Adaptive measures will be ...

Demographic change, wealth distribution and long-run growth in general equilibrium Ghent University
This project studies the effects on (future) per capita economic growth of different drivers of demographic change and rising inequality in OECD countries. We focus on the effects of (i) declining fertility, (ii) rising life expectancy, (iii) skill-biased technical change and (iv) the intergenerational transmission of heterogeneous innate ability and accumulated financial wealth (bequests).
Methodologically, we construct, calibrate, ...
Wildlife trade in Egypt: Untangling the social and economic drivers to inform policy change KU Leuven

Wild species are used as the source for a large array of products, including foods, medicines, exotic pets, display and entertainment, clothing, cultural items, industrial resins and extracts, and household items (TRAFFIC, 2008).
