Drivers in CO2 emissions variation: A decomposition analysis for 33 world countries (2016, background): “technologies as drivers of economic growth are considered as some of the most important factor for the developed areas [63-65, 17].”
Digitalization and energy consumption. Does ICT reduce energy demand? (2020, background): “One explanation might stem from insights of a new area of research that distinguishes between the role of energy and the role of exergy (sometimes also called useful work) in economic growth (Warr et al., 2010; Warr and Ayres, 2012).”
A meta-analysis investigation of the direction of the energy-GDP causal relationship: implications for the growth-degrowth dialogue (2014, methodology): “…in thermal equivalents to a more accurate energy efficiency measurement, such as the “exergy” and “useful work” approach (Warr and Ayres, 2010; Warr et al., 2010), and the Divisia index adjustment (Stern, 1993, 2000; Zarnikau, 1997) may reveal new empirical evidence, since only 5 out of…”
Energy rebound as a potential threat to a low-carbon future: findings from a new exergy-based national-level rebound approach (2017, background): “08 for fossil fuels [59,60], aggregate primary energy and primary exergy values (in Joules) are close [53] in fossil-dominated economies.”
A systematic review of the evidence on decoupling of GDP, resource use and GHG emissions, part II: synthesizing the insights (2020, background): “…even found increasing useful exergy intensities, in particular during periods in which the contribution of industry to GDP respectively industry’s share in final energy use rise (e.g. Warr et al 2008, 2010, Guevara et al 2016); others did not detect a clear trend (e.g. Serrenho et al 2014, 2016).”
Evolution of the exergy flow network embodied in the global fossil energy trade: Based on complex network (2016, background): “Warr [4] found evidence of unidirectional causality from exergy to GDP.”
