UKERC Review of evidence for the rebound effect: Technical report 3: Elasticity of substitution studies [PDF]

, 2007
This Working Paper forms part of the TPA’s assessment of evidence for a rebound effect from improved energy efficiency. Technical Report 3 focuses upon empirical estimates of the elasticity of substitution between energy and capital.

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Reassessing the neoclassical substitution model: the increasing flows evidence

Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente, 2023
In this article we assess the validity of the elasticity of substitution indicator to evaluate natural resource substitution. After clarifying the importance of the static equilibrium hypothesis for the development of such an indicator, we demonstrate ...

On the Influence of Production Technologies and Savings Propensities on Economic Growth. Findings Considering a Solow's Type Growth Model

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2019
This review analyses the influence of technologies and saving propensities of workers and shareholders on economic growth, considering the [1] model. We show how investing behaviors and production peculiarities condition the evolution of capital over ...

Mathematical economics in the explanation of economic growth in economies with endogenous and exogenous technological change

Revista Boletín Redipe, 2021
Economic growth is a function of the interactions between the different productive factors framed in the economic policy of an economy, in particular, it can be expressed in terms of labour force, productive resources (land, capital) and technology ...

Revisiting Stability Criteria in Ball‐Milled High‐Entropy Alloys: Do Hume–Rothery and Thermodynamic Rules Equally Apply?

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 6, March 2025.
The stability criteria affecting the formation of high‐entropy alloys, particularly focusing in supersaturated solid solutions produced by mechanical alloying, are analyzed. Criteria based on Hume–Rothery rules are distinguished from those derived from thermodynamic relations. The formers are generally applicable to mechanically alloyed samples.

Intertemporal elasticity of substitution with leisure margin

Review of Economics of the Household, 2017
Abstract This paper investigates households’ consumption smoothing behavior by estimating the intertemporal elasticity of substitution of consumption (IES) while allowing labor / leisure to vary. To this end, we adopt a utility specification that allows non-separability between consumption and leisure.
