Methodology and Indicators of Economy‐wide Material Flow Accounting (2011, methodology): “For both flows, standardized estimation procedures have been developed (Wirsenius 2003; Krausmann et al. 2008; Eurostat 2009) that make assumptions on the ratio of grain to straw (harvest indexes) and roughage intake by livestock.”
Research, part of a Special Feature on A Framework for Analyzing, Comparing, and Diagnosing Social-Ecological Systems Comparison of Frameworks for Analyzing Social-ecological Systems (2013, methodology): “It serves to quantify the relevant processes involved in the material and energy flows, and to identify steering possibilities for minimizing the impact of society on nature (Ayres 1978, Baccini and Bader 1996, Haberl et al. 2004, Brunner and Rechberger 2005).”
What determines urban households' willingness to pay for CO2 emission reductions in Turkey: A contingent valuation survey (2011, background): “Yet, at the same time, one is mindful about the possibility that the Turkish case may very well replicate the experiences of many other wealthier countries, since greater wealth also means more consumption and hence higher CO2 emissions (see, e.g., Adaman et al., 2009; Haberl et al., 2004).”
A systematic review of the evidence on decoupling of GDP, resource use and GHG emissions, part II: synthesizing the insights (2020, methodology): “…3.3 presents the evidence on the (de)coupling between GDP and comprehensive measures of social metabolism derived with the harmonized and internationally applied economy-wide material and energy flow analysis (MEFA) framework (Haberl et al 2004, Fischer-Kowalski et al 2011, Krausmann et al 2017a).”
