The actual heating energy conservation in China: Evidence and policy implications
Jing Lin,Boqiang Lin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a trans-log production function is established incorporating asymmetric energy price decomposition and seemingly unrelated regression method is adopted to estimate the own-price and cross-price elasticity of factor input demands of the heating industry, then the direct energy rebound effect is estimated within China's heating industry.

How present bias forestalls energy efficiency upgrades: A study of household appliance purchases in India
Franz Fuerst,Ramandeep Singh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated household decision-making behavior in the market for energy-efficient lighting and appliances in Delhi, India to study the energy efficiency gap using the inter-disciplinary framework of behavioural economics.

Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles’ Potential for Urban Transport in China: The Role of Energy Sources and Utility Factors
Jian Liu,Georgina Santos +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the energy consumption and emissions of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in China in 2020 and found that PHEVs would reduce energy consumption by 37.5% and GHG emissions by 35% when compared to current gasoline vehicles under the predicted 2020 electricity generation mix.

Innovation-enabling policy and regime transformation towards increased energy efficiency: the case of the circulator pump industry in Europe
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the case of the hot water circulator pump industry in Europe, where parts of the industry envisioned and worked for a voluntary energy label, bringing technological innovation, new business and energy savings of approx. 85% for each new circulation pump.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do vehicle efficiency improvements lead to energy savings? The rebound effect in Great Britain
TL;DR: This article found that larger, less fuel efficient vehicles are more responsive to fuel price changes than smaller vehicles and that drivers in urban areas are more sensitive to fuel prices than drivers in rural areas.

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.

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.
