Degrowth: from theory to practice (2013, background): “In the anti-utilitarian tradition, degrowth is a critique to the central role of economic (monetary, or market-based) transactions in human relations and society (Bayon et al., 2010).”
How to deal with the rebound effect? A policy-oriented approach (2016, background): “Cap and trade schemes are more attractive than taxes because they focus on the desired end (e.g., a decrease in absolute environmental pressures), rather than potentially problematic means (e.g., increased environmental efficiency) (Alcott, 2010; van den Bergh, 2011).”

Energy rebound as a potential threat to a low-carbon future: findings from a new exergy-based national-level rebound approach (2017, background): “Meanwhile, whilst authors inclu ing Alcott [5] adv cate a strategy of sufficiency—by cappi g the produc ( r cons mption) of products and services—th 5% CO2 abatement from demand measures in Figure 1 sugg sts this has little envisaged role at p sent.”
Energy Conservation More Effective With Rebound Policy (2011, background): “First, at a very general level, Alcott (2010) employs the famous I = P ∗ A ∗ T equation (Ehrlich and Holdren 1971) to explain energy or environmental rebound effects.”
In defence of degrowth (2011, background): “Taxes on environmental damages, CO2 and nuclear energy are other systemic interventions proposed and so are caps (limits) on CO2, energy and resource uses and pollution (Alcott, 2010).”
The impact of urbanization on carbon emissions in developing countries: a Chinese study based on the U-Kaya method (2016, background): “However, IPAT has been criticized as being too simplistic in assuming that P, A and T are independent of each other (Alcott, 2010) - a problem later overcome by Dietz and”
