TL;DR: In this paper, the authors adopt a global computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to design a scenario of energy efficiency improvement, which is compared to a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario to identify the global rebound effect.

TL;DR: Wei et al. as mentioned in this paper extended Wei's general analysis to explore the rebound effects from an economist's viewpoint by taking the global economy as a whole and applying general forms of production functions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of fuel efficiency gains on output (roughly, GDP) is shown to be relatively small by the Cobb-Douglas production function, but an error in the analysis leads to under-estimation of the long-term impact.

TL;DR: Wei et al. as discussed by the authors extended Wei's general analysis to explore the rebound effects from an economist's viewpoint by taking the global economy as a whole and applying general forms of production functions.

TL;DR: The alternative model is offered, which explicitly specifies the different role of technology (T) in STIRPAT from IPAT, and concludes that different functional forms of STirPAT can be one explanation for the difference among estimates in the studies on environmental impacts of population and affluence.
