Progress towards sustainability? What the conceptual framework of material and energy flow accounting (MEFA) can offer (2004, background): “Moreover, econometric analyses (Hall et al., 2001) suggest that energy may be a much more potent production factor than its low share in total production costs suggests.”
The Impact of Electricity on Economic Development: A Macroeconomic Perspective (2017, background): “By contrast, a prominent tradition in heterodox ecological economics, known as the biophysical economics approach, is based on thermodynamics (Georgescu-Roegen, 1971; Cleveland et al., 1984; Hall et al., 2001; Ayres and Warr, 2009; Murphy and Hall, 2010).”
Forecasting the limits to the availability and diversity of global conventional oil supply (2004, background): “Biophysical and systems-oriented economic and planning models should prove useful in the current circumstances, because they keep track of the different interacting parts of systems and recognize the importance of, and constraints of, physical resources for economic activity [31,70,71].”
Estimating the environmental costs of soil erosion at multiple scales in Kenya using emergy synthesis (2006, background): “There have been numerous critiques of economic valuation of ecological services (e.g. Pritchard et al., 2000; Ludwig, 2000), despite their obvious attraction from a practical and regulatory perspective (Hall et al., 2001).”
A systematic review of the evidence on decoupling of GDP, resource use and GHG emissions, part II: synthesizing the insights (2020, background): “Many of the authors in this community come from energy analysis and regard themselves as analysts of ‘biophysical economics’ (Cleveland 1987, Hall et al 2001, Kümmel 2011).”
Productive energy use and economic growth: Energy, physical and human capital relationships (2015, background): “Biophysical economics regards energy as the key input factor in economic production (Ayres and Warr, 2005, 2009; Cleveland et al., 1984; Cook, 1971; Goeller and Weinberg, 1976; Hall et al., 1986, 2001, 2003; Murphy and Hall, 2010).”
