Energy Input Interaction in US Production
This paper estimates production functions for annual US output from 1949 to 2013 adding energy Btu input to fixed capital assets and the labor force. Interactions between inputs are parsimoniously introduced in the error correction estimates.

Energy input and food output: The energy imbalance across regional agrifood systems. [PDF]
Abstract Biomass was the principal energy source in preindustrial societies; their agriculture provided more energy than it required. Thus, the energy return on energy investment (EROEI) needed to be >1. Recent studies have indicated that this may not be the case for modern industrialized agrifood systems (AFSs).

An analysis of energy use, input costs and relation between energy inputs and yield of apple orchard [PDF]
This study examines the energy balance between the input and the output per hectare for an apple orchard in the West Azarbaijan province in Iran (2008-2009). Data were collected by using random sampling method for 80 "face to face" questioners.
