- Consumption in the Circular Economy: A Literature Review (2018, background): “Researchers from this field have investigated the environmental impacts of consumption [28] and the drivers of such forms of consumption including international trade [29] and societal conventions [30].”
- Building a Sustainable and Desirable Economy-in-Society-in-Nature (2013, background): “Also, the increase in labor wages will benefit the poor in developing countries, raising their purchasing power and improving their livelihoods [111].”
- What Moves Us? An Interdisciplinary Exploration of Reasons for Traveling (2015, background): “Steg and Gifford (2005), for example, suggest having members of the public evaluate proposed transportation policies or plans with respect to their impact on 22 subjective indicators of quality of life.”
- Mindful consumption: a customer-centric approach to sustainability (2011, background): “Many economists including Durning (1992), Galbraith (1958/1998), Frank (1999), Offer (2006), Schor (1999, 2005, 2010), and Schumacher (1973/1999) variously draw attention to the personal, social and environmental costs of affluent, highconsumption lifestyles.”
- Socio-demographics, implicit attitudes, explicit attitudes, and sustainable consumption in supermarket shopping (2016, background): “Implicitly, these models attribute the failure to convert attitudes into behaviour to cognitive barriers (e.g. ignorance, or distrust in information; see Gifford, 2011), or external constraints (e.g. income; see Schor, 2005).”
