The material basis of the global economy Worldwide patterns of natural resource extraction and their implications for sustainable resource use policies (2007, background): “National environmental input–output models can be linked to formmulti-national (or multi-regional) input–output models, capable of tracing production chains and related material flows through different economies (Wiedmann et al., 2006; Giljum, 2005).”
Managing without growth (2008, background): “Aggregating all material flows into a single measure of throughput, presumably by a common measure such as mass, conceals a great deal of crucial information needed for making policy (Weisz et al. 2006).”
Resource consumption drivers and pathways to reduction: economy, policy and lifestyle impact on material flows at the national and urban scale (2016, result): “90), which is in line with the conclusion by Weisz et al. (2006) made for the EU15.”
Socio-Ecological Regime Transitions in Austria and the United Kingdom (2008, background): “Energy and material use continues to grow both in Austria and the UK such as is the case in most other industrialized countries (Weisz et al., 2006; Haberl et al., 2006).”
Material Flow Accounting: Measuring Global Material Use for Sustainable Development (2017, background): “(93) have shown for the EU that even among countries with similar levels of income, considerable differences in per capita DMC can be found.”
Managing Without Growth: Slower by Design, Not Disaster (2008, background): “Aggregating all material flows into a single measure of throughput, presumably by a common measure such as mass, conceals a great deal of crucial information needed for making policy (Weisz et al. 2006).”
A socio‐metabolic transition towards sustainability? Challenges for another Great Transformation (2011, result): “Different interpretations have been provided for these findings, which have also received confirmation on the national level (Ayres et al., 2008; Eurostat, 2002; Gales et al., 2007; Weisz et al., 2006).”
ENERGY REBOUND AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: A REVIEW OF THE MAIN ISSUES AND RESEARCH NEEDS (2009, background): “But here the danger of conflating physical and subjective economic characteristics is very great (see also [47,48]).”
Reducing energy and material flows in cities (2010, background): “The large variation in urban material consumption may be due to several factors: energy and material flows at smaller geographic scales tend to exhibit higher variability (see for instance the discussion about the national intra-EU variability in domestic material consumption [24]).”
