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:

The macroeconomic rebound effect and the world economy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the macroeconomic rebound effect for the global economy arising from energy-efficiency policies, which refers to the idea that some or all of the expected reductions in energy consumption as a result of energy efficiency improvements are offset by an increasing demand for energy services.

Decomposition analysis of energy-related carbon emissions from UK manufacturing
TL;DR: Energy-related carbon emissions from UK manufacturing have fallen, between 1990 and 2007, by approximately 2% per annum as discussed by the authors, and the primary reason for the fall in emissions was found to be a reduction in energy intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The macro-economic rebound effect and the UK economy
TL;DR: The findings of the study support the argument that energy efficiency improvements for both consumers and producers, stimulated by policy incentives, will lead to significant reductions in energy demand and hence in greenhouse gas emissions.

The role of income in energy consumption behaviour: Evidence from French households data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the impact of income on household energy consumption in the residential and transport sectors and showed that the least well-off households are particularly constrained since the share of their budget represented by these energy services is very large (15-25%).
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the Energy-Efficiency Gap
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors survey the relevant literature on energy efficiency gap by presenting two complementary frameworks: market failures, behavioral explanations, and model and measurement errors, and organize previous research in terms of the fundamental elements of cost-minimizing energy-efficiency decisions.

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.

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.
