Progress towards sustainability? What the conceptual framework of material and energy flow accounting (MEFA) can offer (2004, background): “Consistent material flow accounts following current up-to-date methodological material flow accounting (MFA) standards (Matthews et al., 2000; Eurostat, 2001) have been established for national economies over about 150 years (e.”

Categorising tools for sustainability assessment (2007, background): “The studies of World Resources Institute on total material flows in industrialised economies (Adriaanse et al., 1997; Matthews et al., 2000) were important for standardising regional material flow analysis.”
The Energetic Metabolism of Societies Part I: Accounting Concepts (2001, background): “Although this assertion has, to my knowledge, never been explicitly challenged, most current work on societal metabolism ignores energy flows (e.g., Ayres and Ayres 1998; Adriaanse et al. 1997; Matthews et al. 2000).”
Trade, Materials Flows, and Economic Development in the South: The Example of Chile (2004, methodology): “A number of studies have been carried out for developed countries (Adriaanse et al. 1997; EUROSTAT 2002; Matthews et al. 2000) and transition economies (Hammer and Hubacek 2002; Mündl et al.”
De-materialising and re-materialising: digital technologies and the environment (2004, background): “getting more materials-intensive), especially when the environmental burdens associated with traded goods are included [34].”
Material Flow Accounting: Measuring Global Material Use for Sustainable Development (2017, background): “Most existing MFA research has focused on the input side, compiling data on extraction, trade, and consumption of materials; only a few studies have included consistent accounts of outputs of wastes and emissions (44, 53).”
Industrial ecology: a new field or only a metaphor? (2004, background): “While not so well developed as LCA, MFA methods have converged and one can find examples of national accounts following a consistent methodology [20].”
