TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare eight production/cost functions used or potentially useful for exploring how energy efficiency gains affect energy consumption, and suggest practitioners restrict themselves to either the Gallant (Fourier) or the Generalized Leontief/Symmetric Generalized Barnett cost functions as being sufficiently "rebound flexible".

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how the short run becomes the long run and how the two may be happily married while preserving the differences of short run and long run energy interactions.
