Energy efficiency and consumption — the rebound effect — a survey
TLDR
In this paper, a review of some of the relevant literature from the US offers definitions and identifies sources including direct, secondary, and economy-wide sources and concludes that the range of estimates for the size of the rebound effect is very low to moderate.About:

Modifying the Rebound: It depends! Explaining Mobility Behaviour on the Basis of the German Socio-Economic Panel
TL;DR: In this paper, an unbalanced two-wave random effects panel model was used to investigate the effect of fuel efficiency on the number of kilometers driven by a car, and the results indicated that the lower the fuel consumption, the larger the driven distance, but this was true only for cars with more than roughly eight liters per hundred kilometers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vehicle miles (not) traveled: Fuel economy requirements, vehicle characteristics, and household driving
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors exploit a discrete threshold in the eligibility for Cash for Clunkers to show that fuel economy restrictions lead households to purchase vehicles that have lower cost per mile, but are also smaller and lower performance.

A Microeconomic Framework for Evaluating Energy Efficiency Rebound and Some Implications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theoretical framework that parses rebound into economic income and substitution effects, and explore the implications of this framework for measurement of rebound, examining rebound from improved auto fuel economy and lighting efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy Performance Contracting in a Competitive Environment
TL;DR: EPC may not result in a better environmental performance in that the total energy consumption of both firms may be higher under EPC, which happens when the market size is small and the ESCO has not much energy-efficiency advantage over its client.

Modeling energy efficiency insurances and energy performance contracts for a quantitative comparison of risk mitigation potential
Jannick Töppel,Timm Tränkler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantitatively compare the risk mitigation potential of risk transfer contracts based on a comprehensive energy bill savings forecast model comprising stochastic processes for weather, commodity prices, and technological energy efficiency performance.

Economics and consumer behavior
Angus Deaton,John Muellbauer +1 more
TL;DR: Deaton and Muellbauer as mentioned in this paper introduced generations of students to the economic theory of consumer behaviour and used it in applied econometrics, including consumer index numbers, household characteristics, demand, and household welfare comparisons.

Technology, Prices, and the Derived Demand for Energy
Ernst R. Berndt,David O. Wood +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an industrial demand for energy is essentially a derived demand: the firm's demand for the energy is an input, derived from demand for a firm's output, which is an output.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual Discount Rates and the Purchase and Utilization of Energy-Using Durables
TL;DR: In this article, a model of individual behavior in the purchase and utilization of energy-using durables is presented, where the tradeoff between capital costs for more energy efficient appliances and operating costs for the appliances is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economic Implications of Mandated Efficiency in Standards for Household Appliances
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the indiscriminate use of mandated standards will backfire, but a mix of selective standards and reliance on prices as a restraint can be effective.

Qualitative Choice Analysis: Theory, Econometrics, and an Application to Automobile Demand
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a detailed study of automobile demand and use, presenting forecasts based on the powerful new techniques of qualitative choice analysis and standard regression techniques, which are combined to analyze situations that neither alone can accurately forecast.
