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:

Identifying the Rebound: Evidence from a German Household Panel
TL;DR: The authors assesses the effectiveness of fuel efficiency improvements by estimating the rebound effect, which measures the extent to which higher efficiency causes additional travel, using a panel of household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2005.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rebound effects in German residential heating: Do ownership and income matter?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the direct rebound effect related to space heating in German residential households by using panel data and a fixed effects model, and conclude that energy rebound effects in the residential sector should be tackled in energy policy making in a differentiated way, and certainly not ignored in energy efficiency policies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sufficiency or efficiency to achieve lower resource consumption and emissions? The role of the rebound effect
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the range of possible secondary effects of efficiency and sufficiency strategies goes beyond the rebound effect, and they develop an "Eco-efficiency-sufficiency matrix" to logically order eco-efficiency and SUfficiency measures to attain lower resource consumption and emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methods to empirically estimate direct and indirect rebound effect of energy-saving technological changes in households
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a methodology to estimate the static direct plus indirect rebound effect of energy efficiency improvements in the use of energy in households, based on the combination of econometric estimations of energy demand functions, re-spending modelling and generalised intput-output of energy modelling.

Linking analyses and environmental Kuznets curves for aggregated material flows in the EU
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the possibilities and limitations of using environmental and economic indicators in the sustainability analysis at the macro level, and present a theoretical framework for the linking analysis including a classification of the degrees of de-linking/re-link environmental impacts from/to economic growth, and give an empirical example by using indicators of direct material flows as a proxy of environmental degradation.

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.
