Global Energy Use: Decoupling or Convergence? (2015, methodology): “However, the two main hypotheses explaining this dynamics, the decoupling (e.g. Jakob et al., 2012; Lescaroux, 2010; Medlock and Soligo, 2001) and convergence hypotheses (e.g. Ezcurra, 2007; Le Pen and Sévi, 2010; Liddle, 2010; Mulder and de Groot, 2012) have mostly been tested independently of…”
Energy and Economic Growth: The Stylized Facts (2014, result): “Our ﬁnding that there is no general decoupling between growth and energy use in developed countries contrasts with research that shows such a general decoupling (e.g. Jakob et al., 2012), which we do not ﬁnd in our larger dataset.”
Shared Socio-Economic Pathways of the Energy Sector – Quantifying the Narratives (2017, unknown): “The coupling between socio-economic development patterns and energy demand has been identi ﬁ ed as a fundamental issue for understanding the scale and structure of energy demand (Csereklyei and Stern, 2015; Grübler et al., 2012; Jakob et al., 2012; Schäfer, 2005).”
Peak energy consumption and CO2 emissions in China (2014, background): “For developing countries, no inflection point has been found, which is consistent with the EKC hypothesis (Jakob et al., 2012; Jaunky, 2011).”
A systematic review of the evidence on decoupling of GDP, resource use and GHG emissions, part II: synthesizing the insights (2020, methodology): “Some studies find strong linkages between final energy use and GDP (e.g. Kim 1984, Stjepanovíc 2018), while others find evidence for some degree of decoupling, mostly at the national scale (e.g. Jakob et al 2012, Liddle 2012,Mulder andde Groot 2012, Naqvi and Zwickl 2017).”
