UCL ISR’s Prof Raimund Bleischwitz has co-edited a special issue of the journal International Economics and Economic Policy on ‘.

The special issue comprises of eight papers which are outputs of the Sino-European Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency () research project, led by ISR. The SINCERE project aims to develop new economic modelling tools to understand the resource use patterns of China and the EU and brings together experts from the UK, Germany, China, France and the Netherlands.  

One of the papers, written by ISR researchers Matthew Winning, Alvaro Calzadilla, Raimund Bleischwitz, and Victor Nechifor, describes their research on the UCL Environmental Global Applied Computable General Equilibrium model (ENGAGE-materials) which was created to consider the economic and sectoral effects of potential policies on a circular economy and resource efficiency. 

The development of a global computable general equilibrium (CGE) model enables a greater understanding of the role that global material flows from specific industries, such as steel, can have on major economies and international trade as well as their role in achieving resource efficiency and circular goals.
