Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh (born 1st of August 1965) is an environmental economist of Dutch origin who currently works and lives in Spain. He is ICREA[1] Research Professor at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and Deputy Director for Research of its Institute of Environmental Science and Technology, and professor of Environmental and Resource Economics at VU University Amsterdam. He undertakes research on the interface of economics, innovation research, energy analysis and climate studies. He has advised the Dutch government (ministries of economics, environment and transport) and various international organizations (UNEP, UNIDO, EU, OECD, WB) and NGOs about environmental, energy and climate policies. He was a member of the The Dutch Energy Council, and of the Advisory Council of the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency. He has supervised more than 20 PhD theses, and published 16 books and more than 150 articles in refereed international journals. His work is much cited[2] and received several prizes, including two major environmental awards. In terms of production and citations he belongs to the top 2% economists in Europe[3], and is the highest ranked environmental economist of Spain.

Academic career

Jeroen van den Bergh was born in 1965 in Ossendrecht (Noord-Brabant, The Netherlands), graduated in 1983 in Athenaeum Beta (cum laude) from Mollerlyceum in Bergen op Zoom, and did a Propedeuse (cum laude) and Master (“Doctoraal”) in Econometrics and Operations Research at Tilburg University. In 1988 he moved to Amsterdam to work at Vrije Universiteit (VU University Amsterdam) on a PhD thesis titled “Dynamic models for sustainable development” (defense December 1991, supervisors P. Nijkamp and J.B. Opschoor). His thesis developed a range of system-dynamic models to study sustainability policies and environmental limits to economic growth. During his postdoc period he broadened his research to include topics like environment and trade, transport and environment, spatial equilibrium modelling with environment, materials-product chains, and meta-analysis. His work is on the boundary of mainstream (Environmental economics) and heterodox (Ecological economics) approaches, as he considers each approach to contribute something useful to our understanding of effective solutions to environmental problems.[4]

In July 1997 he was appointed as full professor of Environmental Economics in the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at VU University Amsterdam (VUA), and in January 2002 additionally as full professor of ‘Nature, Space and Water’ in the Institute for Environmental Studies of VUA. In this period he further extended his research to include environmental innovation, transition studies, behavioral and evolutionary economics, and economics of climate change. In September 2007 van den Bergh moved to Spain to become ICREA[5] Professor at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). He currently is deputy director responsible for research of the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) of UAB. In addition, he has a full professorship in Environmental and Resource Economics at VU University Amsterdam.

Main activities

Van den Bergh has made original contributions to a range of research themes, including the benefits and instruments of climate policy, environmental innovation and sustainability transitions, economic growth versus the environment, and environmental policy informed by economic psychology and behavioral economics. He has a particular interest in applying evolutionary economics to understand environmental problems and their solutions. He has published more than 150 articles in renowned journals in each of aforementioned areas, is co-author of seven monographs and editor of nine books. His work involves various types of applied mathematical modelling, econometric-statistical analysis, conceptual studies, policy analyses, and critical examinations of indicators and methods.

Van den Bergh is/was a member of the editorial board of more than ten international journals, and is editor of the book series “Advances in Ecological Economics” of Edward Elgar Publishers (UK). He was (invited) editor of the section “Environmental Economics” in the Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (UNESCO, 2001). He is editor-in-chief of the Elsevier journal Environmental Innovation & Societal Transitions. He was a member of the Advisory Council of the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and a member of the Energy Council, the main advisory board on energy issues to the Dutch government, as well as chairman of various research programs in the areas of social and environmental sciences within the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). He is member of the scientific advisory board of the Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO).

Van den Bergh is the editor of the Handbook of Environmental and Resource Economics (1999, Edward Elgar Publ., 1300 pages), awarded “Outstanding Academic Title” in 2000 by Choice Magazine[6]. This is generally regarded not only as a complete overview of the field of environmental and resource economics but also as a constructive synthesis of mainstream and heterodox approaches.[7] Two other important books result from projects undertaken under his guidance: Spatial Ecological-Economic Analysis for Wetland Management(2004, Cambridge University Press) with an integration of hydrology, ecology and economics, and Economics of Industrial Ecology (2005, The MIT Press) combining economics with energy and material flow analysis. These reflect his interest in multidisciplinary research. Last but not least, 23 researchers have successfully finished and defended a PhD/doctorate thesis under his supervision.

Among his most cited articles are a critique of the Ecological footprint[8], a contribution to the literature on the environmental Kuznets curve[9], one of the first studies on the impact of environmental policy differences between countries on international trade patterns[10], a critical assessment of monetary valuation of biodiversity[11], and the first synthetic article of the implications of bounded rationality for environmental policy theory.[12]

Research themes

Van den Bergh works or has worked on the following research themes:

Climate economics and policy

Over time, van den Bergh’s research is increasingly focused on climate change, as he thinks this represent the most important and difficult environmental challenge we face. He developed an alternative for cost-benefit analysis in "climate economics", which resulted in 12 perspectives strengthening the case for a stringent climate policy.[13] In a recent article in Nature Climate Change he calculated a lower bound to the social cost of carbon (SCC) of US$125.[14] In another study, he assessed the responsibilities for historical cumulative contributions to CO2 in the atmosphere by countries, from which it follows that China will around 2050 become the largest historical emitter of CO2.[15]

A core concern of van den Bergh’s research is identifying effective climate policy, namely by undertaking systemic analyses and examining unintended, indirect effects of energy and climate policies. He has studied the adequate combination of environmental regulation (standards, taxes or tradable permits) and innovation policies (renewable energy subsidies) to avoid problems of escape routes like “energy rebound”[16], “carbon leakage”, “green paradox” (oil market responses to climate policy) and “shifting of environmental problems”.[17] The general lesson of his research is that while a partial viewpoint on environmental policy is attractive as it keeps things simple, only a systems perspective identifies really effective solutions for energy scarcity and climate change. His article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America summarizes his views on an effective energy-climate policy package.[18] Recently, he showed that re-spending rebound in terms of energy or CO2 emissions is a serious concern for both rich countries and emerging economies.[19].

With Dr. Wouter Botzen from VUA he has studied insurance against climate change impacts, notably related to flooding risks. Here the specific combination of bounded rationality and extreme events has been confronted with econometric studies of data, obtained with choice experiments, on individual decision making under low-probability/high-impact risks.[20]

Economic growth versus the environment

In 1999 van den Bergh wrote an article classifying five main positions or viewpoints in the long-standing environment-versus-growth debate, namely the moralist, pessimist, technocrat, sceptic and optimist.[21]. He returned to this theme on various occasions, dealing with the connection between energy and growth[22], or proposing a new growth theory to study dematerialization.[23] He further investigated the implications of having to reduce the CO2 intensity of economic output worldwide with more than 80%, and the friction between climate and employment goals resulting from it.[24] In addition, he evaluated the fierce criticm levied at Lomborg's book The Skeptical Environmentalist which suggested that growth and environment are compatible as environmental problems are exaggerated.[25]

A prize-winning and much cited paper has proposed the existence of a so-called “GDP paradox”[26] It explains why despite the widely accepted criticism of GDP as a reliable indicator of progress for rich countries, the majority of economists and politicians continues to give unconditional support to it. He participated in the recent debate on “de-growth”, expressing criticism of this goal and proposing an alternative, namely “a-growth”: this denotes being indifferent about economic growth in rich countries, which follows logically from accepting the shortcomings of GDP (per capita) as an indicator of social welfare. His plea for a-growth reflects a new, refreshing position next to the polarized pro- and anti-growth views in the long-standing debate on growth-versus-environment.[27] In a related article he argued that ignoring GDP as a progress indicator would open up new policy directions to respond to both climate change and the financial-economic crisis.[28]

Evolutionary economics, environmental innovation and sustainability transition

Van den Bergh’s main theoretical achievement is perhaps the integration of evolutionary economics and modelling with environmental economics and sustainability transition studies.[29] [30] This has resulted in a large number of technical, conceptual and policy papers, many with his PhD students, as well as a book Evolutionary Economics and Environmental Policy: Survival of the Greenest. Evolutionary thinking and modelling is becoming popular in the social sciences as it allows addressing social, economic and technological complexity characterized by diversity of actors, groups, firms, technologies, products and ideas. The change in this diversity is driven by technical and organizational innovations combined with multiple selection forces, including markets and public policies.[31] Van den Bergh is internationally recognized as one of the main researchers working on the interface of evolutionary and environmental economics.[32]

His first modelling work in this area, with Noailly and Withagen, focused on the exploitation of renewable resources like fisheries, agriculture and irrigation.[33] He further wrote on evolutionary microfoundations of economics[34], coevolution of behavior and institutions[35], and group selection to explain socio-economic phenomena.[36] In addition, he developed a general theory of policy based on evolutionary principles, addressing both normative and positive aspects.[37] In a much cited article he applied evolutionary economics to analyse policy packages aimed at stimulating a transition to sustainable energy.[38] One formal model assessed the effectiveness, in comparison with environmental taxes, of providing information to consumers and awarding prizes to innovators, so as to draw attention to green alternatives[39] Another study elaborated the famous model by Brian Arthur explaining lock-in of undesirable technologies and adapted this to an environmentally relevant transition setting by testing for the impact of modular, recombinant innovation (like hybrid cars) on the feasibility and speed of a sustainability transition.[40]

Possibly his most important, and much cited, contribution in this area is the notion of “optimal technological diversity”, which combines elements of neoclassical and evolutionary economics.[41] He formalised this in a mathematical model that accounts for three dimensions of diversity (inspired by Stirling), increasing returns to scale and recombinant innovation. This provides strategies for renewable energy that make an optimal trade-off between scale advantages - focusing on few energy technologies - and diversity advantages - keeping promising technological options open.

He further studied policies for "environmental and climate innovations". This includes an empirical evaluation of the success and failure factors behind all major transport sustainability initiatives undertaken in the Netherlands in the past decades.[42] One article identifies the peculiarities of environmental/climate innovations as compared with traditional, commercial innovations, and their implications for effective policies.[43] A recent article examines how to allocate public subsidies between R&D and market diffusion for renewable energy so as to promote its long run success.[44]

Behavioral economics and environmental policy

Closely related to evolutionary economics is his interest in behavioral economics, i.e. theories of human bounded rationality and other-regarding (or social) behavior. The connection between behavioral and evolutionary economics is that the first provides an individual perspective on behavior while the latter studies (market and network) interactions of many individuals in populations of heterogeneous agents. Such an approach provides more realism in environmental policy analysis. He wrote an early, much cited article on behavioral economics and environmental policy.[45] He has applied behavioral economics, among others, to better understand insurance against climate change disasters[46], and barriers to and opportunities for an international climate agreement.[47] In the latter case he finds that reframing of climate change and policy needs more attention. The likelihood of a climate agreement was examined here for negative frames (called “Gore” and “Bush”) and positive frames (called “Nordhaus” and “Stern”, after two famous climate economists). One conclusion drawn is that climate negotiations might benefit from the involvement of (economic) psychologists.

Spatial and international aspects of environmental policy

Van den Bergh has written much on the spatial and international dimensions of environmental policy. With van Beers he undertook one of the first (and much cited) studies to assess the impact of differences in environmental policy between countries on trade and location. One methodological problem tackled here was the construction of input and output indicators to capture the strength of environmental policy in various countries.[48] In addition, he addressed the notion of "spatial sustainability", that is, the best spatial organization of the economy to contribute to sustainability. This included a much cited, systematic assessment of the ecological footprint method.[49] Addressing the broader theme - spatial sustainability in the context of endogenous firm and household locations, transport and international trade - has given rise to a policy-relevant extension of the famous agglomeration model by Paul Krugman with environmental factors.[50]

Economics of biodiversity and terrestrial/marine ecosystem management

Van den Bergh has further worked on various projects related to biodiversity policy and ecosystem valuation. With Barendregt and Gilbert he developed a very ambitious spatial economic-hydroecological modelling approach to evaluate land use impacts in a large wetlands area in the centre of the Netherlands.[51] This is reported in detail in the book Spatial Ecological-Economic Analysis for Wetland Management (Cambridge University Press). Another study showed that the well-known Weitzman criterion for biodiversity protection (The Noah's ark problem) alters when not only genetic but also ecological information (about ecosystem and foodweb relations) is taken into account.[52]

An article with Nunes considered all the arguments in favour and against monetary valuation of biodiversity.[53] With Maestre et al. he studied unintended indirect (rebound) effects of biodiversity policy which make this policy less effective than possible.[54] Another study presented a balanced environmental-economic assessment of genetic modification of agricultural crops.[55] A study with Hoekstra developed an ambitious mathematical model to consider optimal exploitation (harvesting) of a species (e.g. fisheries) if another species with a high conservation value ecologically interacts with it.[56] He further applied several valuation methods (contingent valuation and choice experiment techniques) to assess the values of ecosystems and their management.[57] His most cited paper in this area with Turner and others presented a method for economic assessment of ecosystem complexity, focusing on wetlands.[58]

He further undertook valuation and modelling of changes in marine ecosystems. A book Modeling and Policy Analysis of Exploited Marine Ecosystems, combining biology and economics, collects his theoretical and applied studies with a research team on fisheries management in the Dutch Wadden Sea. Recently, he worked on the economics of ocean acidification in the Mediterranean Sea due an increased CO2 concentration of the atmosphere.[59] In a recent article with Gagern in PLoS One trade data were analysed to estimate actual fishing weight, providing empirical evidence for the suspicion that there is structural overfishing of (Bluefin) tuna in various parts of the world.[60]

Materials flows, mass balance and recycling in economic analysis

Van den Bergh’s early work addressed the integration of materials flow accounting and economic modelling, physical-technical limits to growth, and substitution of materials by other production factors.[61] He wrote a fundamental article on economic production functions that are consistent with mass balance.[62] With Bouman and others he undertook a much cited methodological comparison of distinct approaches to integrate materials flow analysis with economics.[63] Rutger Hoekstra and he developed various input-output model techniques to deal with material flows and their factor decomposition.[64] Together with Robert Ayres he developed a much cited alternative theory of economic growth to study dematerialization of the economy. His book Economic of Industrial Ecology (The MIT Press) provides an overview of models and empirical tools to integrate physical flows and economics.

Remaining themes: world population limit, perverse subsidies, and aggregate environmental indicators

It is not the intention to give a complete account here of topics addressed by van den Bergh. Three more, however, deserve brief mention. First, he performed a meta-analysis of all 69 quantitative studies that estimated a limit to the world population.[65] This produced a meta-estimate of the limit equal to 7.2 billion people (compare with the actual level here: World Population). Second, with van Beers he quantified various environmentally damaging off-budget (i.e. “hidden”) subsidies.[66] Finally, in line with his criticisms of the GDP as a welfare indicator, and of the footprint as an environmental indicator, with Pillarisetti he assessed and compared a number of other proposals for aggregate environmental indicators, such as Genuine savings, the Environmental Sustainability Index, the Sustainable Society Index and the Happy Planet Index.[67]

Acclaim and awards

According to the largest bibliographic database on economists, IDEAS/RePEc, by various criteria, van den Bergh belongs to the top 1% economists in Spain and the top 2% in the EU and Europe, and is the highest ranked environmental economist in Spain. His work has generated many responses, illustrated by 2060/2656/9300 citations, and an h-index of 23/26/50 (ISI Web of Science/Scopus/Google Scholar), which represent high scores in the social sciences. In addition, 11 of his articles are reprinted in collections with "classic articles”.[68] He is an elected member of the Academia Europaea (since October 2010). He received prizes for a book and two articles, and two general environmental science prizes: He is co-winner of 2012 Chris Freeman Award of the European Association for the Study of Science and Technology, for contributing an article on "Evolutionary theorizing and modeling of sustainability transitions" to a special issue of the journal Research Policy 41(6) on "sustainability transitions". His article “The GDP Paradox”, published in Journal of Economic Psychology 30(2), was awarded a "Citation of Excellence" by the Emerald Management Reviews in 2010.[69] His Handbook of Environmental and Resource Economics was selected in the category “Outstanding Academic Title” in 2000 by Choice Magazine.[70] He received the 2011 Sant Jordi Environmental Prize ("Premi Sant Jordi de Medi Ambient 2011") in recognition of contributions to the field of environmental and resource economics.[71] And he was awarded the 2002 Royal/Shell Prize for research on ‘Sustainable Development, Environment and Resources’.[72]
