An empirical study on the rebound effect considering capital costs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended the scope of the research conducted by Brannlund et al. in terms of two aspects: (i) considering capital costs explicitly as additional capital costs and (ii) adapting an iterating procedure, and estimating the rebound effect, using Japanese household data.

An empirical study of direct rebound effect for passenger transport in urban China
H. Wang,Pei Zhou,Dequn Zhou +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the linear approximation of the Almost Ideal Demand System model and simulation analysis to estimate the direct rebound effect for passenger transport in urban China and found that a majority of the expected reduction in transport energy consumption from efficiency improvement could be offset due to the existence of rebound effect.

Electric Energy Management in the Smart Home: Perspectives on Enabling Technologies and Consumer Behavior
Adam Zipperer,Patricia A. Aloise-Young,Siddharth Suryanarayanan,Robin Roche,Lieko Earle,Dane Christensen,Pablo M. Bauleo,Daniel Zimmerle +7 more
TL;DR: A discussion of the state of the art in electricity management in smart homes, the various enabling technologies that will accelerate this concept, and topics around consumer behavior with respect to energy usage are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Rebound Effect and Energy Efficiency Policy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the most reliable evidence available quantifying the energy efficiency rebound, and discuss areas where estimation is extraordinarily difficult, and offer a new way of thinking about the macroeconomic rebound effect.

The Potential Role of Carbon Labeling in a Green Economy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the potential impact of carbon product labeling, discuss methodological and trade challenges and propose a framework for choosing products best suited for labeling, and argue that it is important to consider the entire life cycle of a product being labeled and develop an international standard for measurement and reporting.

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.
