Microeconomix has a wide experience applying economic theory to environmental issues. We have analyzed the efficiency of tools used in climate change policies (taxes, emission trading programs, voluntary agreements, CO2 markets, etc.) and designed economic instruments applied to renewable energy (feed-in tariffs, feed-in premium, green certificates). Our expertise includes various environmental challenges, including regulatory development and compliance, natural resource management, trade-offs associated with water quality and water quantity challenges, greenhouse gas reduction and sustainability. We work on subjects related to air, land, and water contamination, greenhouse gas emissions, habitat and natural resource protection.

Microeconomix masters quantitative techniques and understands well the economics of natural-resource management and environmental quality. We have a sound knowledge of monetary value techniques of goods and services (hedonic prices, cost of replacement, cost of shifting, contingency evaluation, etc.) that are not bought or sold in a market (such as environmental goods and services). We also help our clients to design policy and regulations related to CO2 emission targets and to define the rules of emission permits' allocation. We support them in promoting energy efficiency, renewable energy, carbon capture and storage and smart grids.

Cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness techniques allow us to determine the net impacts of actions and the least-cost option among different policies. We also estimate the economic impacts of policies and activities on job creation and tax revenues. We also provide economic consulting on investment and commercial strategies that are influenced by climate policy decisions.
