The destabilisation of existing regimes: Confronting a multi-dimensional framework with a case study of the British coal industry (1913-1967) (2013, background): “Percentage of coal output mechanically cut in selected countries (Data: uxton, 1979). g GDP Deflator (Data from Fouquet, 2008). of coal: “British companies (. . .) certainly did not set the pace in adopting sophisticated coal-processing techniques and marketing practices” (Dintenfass, 1992: 171).”
The Long Run Demand for Lighting:Elasticities and Rebound Effects in Different Phases of Economic Development (2012, methodology): “…(30-fold from 1800 to 1900) made it dramatically cheaper compared to other expenditures in the household – for example, in relation to other energy services: heating costs fell by 40% and the costs of passenger transport dropped three-fold during the nineteenth century (Fouquet 2008 p.255).”
Economic growth and development with low‐carbon energy (2017, background): “The importance of fossil fuels has been documented both over the historic long-term (Stern 2011; Fouquet 2008; Fouquet and Pearson 1998) and in the study of contemporary drivers of growth (McCulloch 2016; Stern et al 2016).”
Long-Run Demand for Energy Services: Income and Price Elasticities over Two Hundred Years (2014, methodology): “Then, using the efficiency estimates in Nordhaus (1996) for lighting and Billington (1982) for heating and simple technological diffusion models (Fouquet 2008), time series for average lighting efficiency were assembled.”
Seven Centuries of Energy Services: The Price and Use of Light in the United Kingdom (1300-2000)1 (2006, background): “In our future work (including Fouquet and Pearson 2006) we intend to explore the underlying relationships, influences and issues in more depth, and to try to elucidate some of the insights for future policy that might be drawn from this story of light.”
Historical energy price shocks and their changing effects on the economy (2017, background): “For instance, many have focussed on energy transitions and the diffusion of technologies (Ray, 1983, Grübler et al., 1999; Gales et al., 2007, Batoletto and Rubio, 2008, Fouquet, 2008, Fouquet, 2010, Rubio and Folchi, 2012, Kander et al., 2013, Grubler and Wilson, 2014, Fouquet, 2016).”
Solar, wind and logistic substitution in global energy supply to 2050 – Barriers and implications (2022, unknown): “There are multiple historical precedents for the re-shaping of the energy system in this way, under pressure of supply-side transformations [62].”
The slow search for solutions: lessons from historical energy transitions by sector and service (2010, background): “…the ‘stage coach effect’ can occur – when companies started building a railway network in the early nineteenth century, stage coach companies increased their prices on lines not accessible by rail to make back their horse and coach investments as quickly as possible (Fouquet 2008 p.164).”
Historical energy transitions: Speed, prices and system transformation ☆ (2016, background): “As a result, steam engines could spread across the whole country and be used all year (Fouquet 2008).”
A low carbon industrial revolution? Insights and challenges from past technological and economic transformations (2012, background): “The enhanced characteristics of previous key GPTs, such as mobility, power, flexibility and reliability, enabled the delivery better and cheaper energy services and a wider range of services (Fouquet and Pearson, 2006; Fouquet, 2008).”
Energy expenditure, economic growth, and the minimum EROI of society (2016, methodology): “3 Fouquet (2011) highlights the danger of focusing on the price of energy rather able to do this adequately for the US and the global economy from 1850 to 2012, and for the United Kingdom (UK) from 1300 to 2008.”
