So what makes these kinds of policies effective?
16:36
You mentioned a number of policy initiative, the anti-poverty strategy.

We supported extensively this policy proposal and initiatives with our model, which is called EuroMod, which, uh, represents the tax and social benefits in all EU countries and which models at the micro level the impact of policy changes.
16:55
So what we have done over the past years is really to integrate in this framework the environmental aspects.
17:02
So all emissions related to household consumption were integrated into the model, which allowed us to simulate relevant, uh, green fiscal policy in particular.
17:13
So with this expertise, we showed that different policy instrument can be used to achieve environmental goals, for instance.
17:21
And to give a concrete example, uh, public policies, for instance, promoting heat pump investments, which are known to be more efficient from an environmental perspective, must account for the price of electricity in the country where such policy is implemented.
