Conceptualizing a “Sustainability Business Model” (2008, background): “…silent on crucial questions of social change such as social justice, the distribution of wealth and power, and society–nature relations (Baker, 2007; Gouldson & Murphy, 1997); and for an uncritical commitment to continued modernization as the way out of environmental crisis (York & Rosa, 2003).”

Ecological Modernization Theory:What About Consumption? (2004, background): “Indeed, recent critiques of ecological modernization (e.g., Pellow et al. 2002; York and Rosa 2003) highlight just how far there is still to go.”
Dynamic Systems and the Challenge of Sustainability (2007, background): “Evidence for such patterns, beyond a few cases (Mol, 2001), is, however, limited (York and Rosa, 2003).”
Tensions in Corporate Sustainability: Towards an Integrative Framework (2014, unknown): “In this context, the role of technological (Vollebergh and Kemfert 2005; York and Rosa 2003) and structural change has been stressed (López et al.”
Are the Economy and the Environment Decoupling? A Comparative International Study, 1960–20051 (2012, background): “…research in the structural human ecology tradition consistently shows that population is a key driver of scale-level environmental outcomes (e.g., York et al. 2003; Rosa et al. 2004; Dietz, Rosa, and York 2007; York 2007) and that the association between total carbon dioxide emissions and…”
Societies consuming nature: A panel study of the ecological footprints of nations, 1960–2003 ☆ (2011, background): “Using the same criteria as York et al. (2003), countries where the predominant latitude is less than 30 degrees from the equator are coded as tropical, and countries where the predominant latitude is between 30 and 55 degrees from the equator are coded as temperate.”
Consumer credit, household financial management, and sustainable consumption (2007, unknown): “Rather, this forewarning stems from recognition that failure to consider the social and political context in which consumption occurs often leads to inadvertent ‘rebound effects’ in which first-order efficiency gains are overwhelmed by unanticipated subsequent increases in aggregate use (Tenner, 199”
The political-economic causes of change in the ecological footprints of nations, 1991-2001: A quantitative investigation (2007, background): “…of ecology known as the “Netherlands fallacy”, which refers to the error in assuming that the overall environmental impacts of the Netherlands’ population [and other aZuent, higher-consuming countries] are contained within its national borders (e.g., Ehrlich and Holdren, 1971; York and Rosa, 2003).”
Know Your Neighbors, Save the Planet (2016, background): “Moreover, researchers in this area have long observed a “rebound effect” with relation to the application of energy-efficient technologies and their increased utilization (Clark & Foster, 2001; Jevons, 2001; York & Rosa, 2003).”
