About
Xavier Vence Deza is a leading scholar in ecological economics and fiscal policy, whose work has been instrumental in shaping the transition toward a circular economy. His research centers on the intersection of taxation, innovation, and sustainable development, with a particular focus on how fiscal instruments can be redesigned to support resource efficiency and waste reduction. In his highly cited 2021 article, “Taxation for a Circular Economy: New Instruments, Reforms, and Architectural Changes in the Fiscal System” (52 citations), Vence Deza argues that current tax systems inadvertently penalize labor-intensive circular activities while favoring linear production models. He proposes a comprehensive reform framework that includes shifting taxes from labor to resource use and introducing incentives for repair, reuse, and recycling. This work has influenced policy debates across Europe and Latin America. Beyond this, Vence Deza has contributed extensively to the study of regional innovation systems and the economics of climate change. His interdisciplinary approach—bridging public finance, environmental science, and political economy—makes his research essential reading for students and policymakers seeking to align economic incentives with ecological sustainability.
