• Estimating direct and indirect rebound effects for U.S. households with input–output analysis Part 1: Theoretical framework (2013, methodology): “…marginal spending patterns using income elasticities from consumption data and couple them with anEEIO model to measure indirect rebound effects from conservation or ef fi ciency activities (Alfredsson, 2004; Chitnis et al., 2012; Druckman et al., 2011; Girod and de Haan, 2010; Murray, 2011).”
• Situated lifestyles: I. How lifestyles change along with the level of urbanization and what the greenhouse gas implications are—a study of Finland (2013, background): “Notwithstanding, Girod and De Haan (2010) have provided evidence that the products purchased by the more affluent consumers are not average products and that the monetary differences actually reflect differences in quality instead of quantity.”
• Climate policy through changing consumption choices: Options and obstacles for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (2014, unknown): “The weight in kilograms and monetary value in US dollars, respectively, are typically used in studies on the environmental impact of goods and services (Girod and de Haan, 2010; Hendrickson et al., 1998).”
• The unequal distribution of household carbon footprints in Europe and its link to sustainability (2020, background): “This probably overestimates the environmental impact of expensive products (and wealthier individuals) and underestimates the impact of cheap products (and less wealthy individuals) (Girod & De Haan, 2010).”
• THE LIFE CYCLE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF CONSUMPTION (2011, result): “This conclusion is also supported by an LCA-based study taking into account the number of goods consumed instead of their value (Girod and de Haan, 2010 ).”
• Carbon footprints and embodied carbon at multiple scales (2010, background): “0, reflecting that as households get wealthier their consumption shifts to higher value-added or more service-based goods and services [23 ].”
• Who emits most? Associations between socio-economic factors and UK households' home energy, transport, indirect and total CO2 emissions (2013, methodology): “This contrasts to Gough et al.'s (2011) study which did not find significant differences in the association between income and different types of emissions, perhaps because their study used equivalised income in addition to controlling for household size whilst our regressions use disposable income.”
