The Dynamics of Resource-Based Economic Development: Evidence from Australia and Norway (2013, background): “…commodity export-led development, focussed largely on early stages of a country’s modernisation by exploiting idle resources and frontier expansion (Barbier, 2011, 12-13) Gavin Wright (1990) offers an alternative argument in relation to American industrialisation a century later than Britain.”
Ecology in an anthropogenic biosphere (2015, background): “…1978, Bird and O’Connell 2006, Smith 2007a, Price and Bar-Yosef 2011), migrating to and using more distant and/or lower productivity lands (land use extensification) only when population pressures built up or local resources became degraded (Hamilton et al. 2009, Barbier 2010, Ellis et al. 2013b).”
Middle-range theories of land system change (2018, background): “abundant but labor and capital are scarce, land-use expansion is expected to best render the satisficing outcome and thus be more likely (Barbier, 2010; le Polain de Waroux et al., 2018).”
