Citations in the corpus
- Energy expenditure, economic growth, and the minimum EROI of society (2016, background): “Even so, researchers in this field have pursued their efforts and produced very recent syntheses (Hall and Klitgaard, 2012; Ayres and Warr, 2009; Kümmel, 2011).”
- The underestimated contribution of energy to economic growth (2013, unknown): “Notable exceptions are d’Arge and Kogiku (1973), Kümmel (1982), Kümmel et al. (2002), Gross and Veendorp (1990), van den Bergh and Nijkamp (1994), Lindenberger and Kümmel (2011).”
- A systematic review of the evidence on decoupling of GDP, resource use and GHG emissions, part I: bibliometric and conceptual mapping (2020, background): “For this literature, the relationship between economic growth and energy use is based on the hypothesis that energy is an important production factor in the economy (Ayres and Warr 2005, Kümmel 2011, Stern 2011, Brockway et al 2017).”
- The Future of Oil: Geology Versus Technology (2012, background): “The contributions include Ayres and Warr (2005, 2010), Hall and Klitgaard (2011), Kümmel (2011), and Kümmel et al. (2002), who propose aggregate production functions that are based on concepts from engineering and thermodynamics.”
- Digitalization and energy consumption. Does ICT reduce energy demand? (2020, background): “Others argue that energy has a much higher output elasticity (Ayres et al., 2013; Kümmel, 2011; Lindenberger and Kümmel, 2011; Stern, 1993; Stern and Cleveland, 2004), so that the low price of energy does not imply a low importance in the production process (Ayres, 2003; Kümmel, 2011).”
- A systematic review of the evidence on decoupling of GDP, resource use and GHG emissions, part II: synthesizing the insights (2020, methodology): “This viewpoint is corroborated by several studies reviewed in section 3.2 and has long been voiced by ‘biophysical economists’ (Hall et al 1986, Cleveland 1987, Kümmel 2011).”
