The impact of physical rebound effects on the heat losses in a retrofitted dwelling
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of a fixed indoor temperature of 18 °C on the net energy demand is analysed by simulations on an existing terraced house with different insulation levels, and the simulations reveal a physical rebound and the need for a correlation between indoor temperature and insulation level.

Challenges for sustainable environmental policy: Influencing factors of the rebound effect in energy efficiency improvements
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the factors that influence the emergence and extent of rebound effects and the challenges that arise for a sustainable environmental policy, focusing on increasing energy efficiency and the energy consumption decisions on the consumer side.

Rebounds Are Structural Effects of Infrastructures and Markets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the Jevons paradox through various academic disciplines (neoclassical economics, ecology, technology, sociology), taking seriously the way these disciplines not only analyse but also construct their proper worlds.

Exploring the Macroeconomic Impacts of Information and Communication Technologies on Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Lorenz Erdmann,Lorenz M. Hilty +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an in-depth scenario analysis of the future impacts of ICT applications on GHG emissions and conclude that forthcoming macroeconomic studies could strengthen the state of the art in environmental ICT impact modeling.
Development of a method for holistic energy renovation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that an old Danish multi-family building built in 1896 could be retrofitted to a "nearly zero" energy building, where three types of retrofit measures were implemented in a "test" apartment to obtain practical experiences.

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.
