- Human appropriation of natural capital: A comparison of ecological footprint and water footprint analysis (2009, background): “In EF analysis, the aggregation of different footprint components into one aggregated EF has been a bit of a controversial subject (see e.g. Van den Bergh and Verbruggen, 1999, p.63; Van Kooten and Bulte, 2000).”
- Embodied pollution in trade: estimating the ‘environmental load displacement’ of industrialised countries (2002, unknown): “Fourth, the amount of land necessary for reforestation (to absorb CO2 emissions) is calculated under a static perspective, which does not take into account neither time scales of forests growth dynamics nor final uses for the hypothetically produced wood (van Kooten and Bulte, 2000).”
- Review of sustainability indices and indicators: Towards a new City Sustainability Index (CSI) (2012, background): “…EF cannot sufficiently capture the external impacts of the target spatial entities on other areas because it does not consider technological changes and land degradation (or soil erosion) with intensive production growth (Fiala, 2008; van den Bergh and Verbruggen, 1999; van Kooten and Bulte, 2000).”
- The dynamics of the ecological footprint concept (2000, unknown): “Some argue in favor of its broad use for policy questions about sustainability (Rees, 2000; Templet, 2000; Wackernagel and Silverstein, 2000), while others, acknowledging the EF’s pedagogic value, see a much more limited use for policy-making (Ayres, 2000; Opschoor, 2000; van Kooten and Bulte, 2000”
- Ecological Footprint Policy? Land Use as an Environmental Indicator (2014, unknown): “However, various other, mutually inconsistent interpretations and definitions of the EF can be found in EF studies (Van Kooten and Bulte 2000, 386).”
- The Environmental Kuznets Curve and Flow versus Stock Pollution: The Neglect of Future Damages (2004, background): “…infeasible to closely monitor all (potential) pollutants4 and, second, because some damages are difficult to measure, in particular soil erosion (van Kooten and Bulte 2000, p. 387), desertification, pollution and depletion of groundwater aquifers, biodiversity loss (Cole 1999, p. 95),…”
- Liberal democracy and sustainability (2008, background): “Also, by geographical averaging, it ignores local hotspots (Van Kooten and Bulte 2000).”
