The economics of degrowth (2012, background): “Who and how adapts to a loss of income, and under what contextual conditions? Why do some people fare better psychologically than others under the same stresses? How do aspirations or unattainable goals (Kerschner, 2010; Wrosch, 2003), ideologies, life-styles or other socio-economic characteristics ”
Environmental Justice and Economic Degrowth: An Alliance between Two Movements (2012, background): “Research is needed on the environmental, technological, demographic, social and socio-psychological aspects of socially sustainable economic degrowth that would lead to a steady-state economy (Kerschner 2010), in alliance with the environmental justice movements of the South.”
The growth paradox, sustainable development, and business strategy (2021, background): “Adam Smith was convinced that ongoing growth was the natural and appropriate direction for the economy and that a stationary state runs counter to human progress (Kerschner, 2010).”
Macroeconomic modelling under energy constraints: Global low carbon transition scenarios (2020, background): “…(Bowen and Hepburn, 2012; Kander and Stern, 2014; Csereklyei and Stern, 2015) or, conversely, would require a ‘post-growth’ approach involving degrowth or a steady-state economy (Daly, 1973; Kerschner, 2010; Jackson, 2011; Dietz and O’Neill, 2013; D’Alisa, Kallis and Federico, 2014; Lange, 2018).”
On the History and Future of 100% Renewable Energy Systems Research (2022, background): “leading to predictions of economic collapse due to lack of energy that ignored the constant influx of solar energy [246], [247].”
Fossil fuel depletion and socio-economic scenarios: An integrated approach (2014, background): “…socio-economic paradigm scenarios can be modeled in order to propose real sustainable future paths such as those proposed by Degrowth (Kallis et al., 2012), Steady-State (Daly, 1996; Kerschner, 2010) or the New Economics of Prosperity (Jackson, 2009) and are the subject of current research.”
The Circular Economy at a Crossroads: Technocratic Eco-Modernism or Convivial Technology for Social Revolution? (2020, background): “Even considering unlimited availability of solar energy, the dissipation of minerals in distributed sinks all over the planet in high-entropy state (minuscule concentration) makes their recuperation extremely expensive and nigh-impossible (Kerschner 2010).”
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Urban Metabolism (2012, unknown): “However, while they advocate different solutions for a sustainable economy, the steady-state economy and degrowth may be complementary if degrowth is pursued to a point where a steady-state economy is then feasible (Kerschner 2010).”
Assessing the degrowth discourse: A review and analysis of academic degrowth policy proposals (2017, background): “This idea is proposed by Kerschner (2010) and defended by O Neill (2012), who argue that the two concepts are complementary.”
In defence of degrowth (2011, background): “A de-grown steady- state will not be steady for infinity, but will arrest the speed of entropic degradation (Kerschner, 2010).”
Measuring progress in the degrowth transition to a steady state economy (2012, background): “An important outcome of the conference, which is reflected in the declaration and other recent literature (e.g. Kallis, 2011; Kerschner, 2010;Martínez-Alier, 2009; Schneider et al., 2010), is that degrowth is a process whose end goal is a steady state economy.”
The Wellbeing–Consumption paradox: Happiness, health, income, and carbon emissions in growing versus non-growing economies (2019, background): “It has 468 been suggested that wealthy countries that have crossed this turning point could reduce resource 469 use considerably with little effect on wellbeing, thereby freeing up ecological space for poorer 470 countries to increase consumption to meet basic needs (Kerschner, 2010; Raworth, 2017).”
A meta-analysis investigation of the direction of the energy-GDP causal relationship: implications for the growth-degrowth dialogue (2014, background): “The steady state economy (Daly, 1974, 1996), as a “remedy” for scarcity and environmental degradation, inspired agrowth (van den Bergh, 2011) and degrowth approaches (Kerschner, 2010; O’Neill, 2012; Schneider et al., 2010).”
Environment versus growth — A criticism of "degrowth" and a plea for "a-growth" (2011, background): “Kerschner (2010) discusses other aspects of the relation between degrowth”
