Rebound effects for residential electricity use in urban China: an aggregation analysis based E-I-O and scenario simulation
Milin Lu,Milin Lu,Zhaohua Wang +2 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the majority of the expected electricity reduction in Chinese urban residential energy consumption arising from efficiency improvement may be offset, and the Chinese government should not improve energy efficiency alone—they must also take into consideration the relevant energy-pricing reforms when formulating energy policies.

Sustainability Through Design Science: Re-Imagining Option Spaces Beyond Eco-Efficiency
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the paradigm of design science for sustainable development, a qualitatively different epistemology in which the emergent effects of throughput growth and social rebound are collectively negotiated within a sustainable area budget.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-border financial flows and global warming in a two-area ecological SFC model
TL;DR: In this paper, the search for safe financial assets can affect economic growth and financial stability, and the search can exacerbate climate change if capitals are free and exchange rates are floating, which can lead to negative side effects for other areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ecological Criteria of Circular Growth and the Rebound Risk of Closed Loops
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a methodology to measure circular efficiency based on the available ecological capacity of the countries and showed that the poorly performing actors are in fact not far from a sustainable operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
UK and China: Will electric vehicle integration meet Paris Agreement Targets?
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of EV and conventional fuelled vehicle (CFVs) tailpipe emissions in China and the UK, considering their different EV integration plans, were projected between 2017 and 2050.

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.
