Rebound effect and sustainability science: A review
David Font Vivanco,Jaume Freire-González,Ray Galvin,Tilman Santarius,Hans Jakob Walnum,Tamar Makov,S. Sala +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a critical literature review of rebound effects in the context of sustainability science in order to map existing rebound research which goes beyond mainstream approaches, unveil and classify current knowledge gaps in relation to sustainability science, outline a research agenda, and provide a knowledge base to support the design of effective policies toward sustainable development.

Multiple perspectives of technology transfer: Technology transfer from government labs
Judith Estep,Tugrul U. Daim +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first steps at identifying the barriers of a successful technology transfer from National Labs to the public are taken, and a variety of articles, interviews, and secondary sources are organized using Reisman's taxonomy framework and analyzed using H.A. Linstone's multiple perspectives approach.

Households’ Electrical Energy Conservation and Management: An Ecological Break-Through, or the Same Old Consumption-Growth Path?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the motivations behind the electrical energy conservation and smart management at households to verify whether we are observing an ecological breakthrough, or a mere continuation of the well-trodden consumption growth path.

Putting policy in drive : coordinating measures to reduce fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. light-duty vehicles
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the role of fiscal policies in overcoming barriers to reducing fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions in U.S. light-duty vehicles and evaluate the costs and benefits of a technology penetration scenario that approximates the new CAFE standard.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restore: an R of sustainability that can tame the “conundrum”
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a reinvestment strategy towards environmental causes, which involves a) estimating the financial savings resulting from sustainability efforts, b) informing the participants that the environmental benefit of the efforts is reduced by economic feedback mechanisms and c) asking them to donate a fraction of the expected savings toward environmental causes.

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.

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.
