Energy Epidemiology: an epidemiological approach to empirically-based population-level energy demand research
TL;DR: The case that an epidemiological approach to energy demand provides an appropriate and plausible conceptual and methodological framework for determining population-level evidence to inform modelling and policy development and evaluation is supported.

Sectoral Electricity Demand and Direct Rebound Effects in New Zealand
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the rebound effect in sectoral electricity consumption and the specific case of New Zealand and find partial rebound effects of 54% and 23% in the industrial and commercial sectors respectively while they find no partial rebound effect at aggregate sectoral level.

Evaluating the Impact of Pro Environmental Energy Policy in Scotland and the UK: the Case of Increased Efficiency in Household Energy Use
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium techniques to investigate the system wide impacts of improvements in households' energy efficiency use, and technical progress in delivering households energy services, in Scotland and the UK, and find that this results in a small economic stimulus, accompanied by a reduction in energy use that is less than the expected energy savings from the pure energy efficiency increase.
Dissertation
Three essays on rebound effects
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated three major aspects of energy consumption rebound effects (RE) in three papers: the magnitude of economy-wide rebound effect, the role of energy policy instruments in mitigating it and its channels of impact.
Determinants of environmental innovation in Brazilian manufacturing industries
TL;DR: Lucchesi et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the determinants of environmental innovation adoption in Brazilian manufacturing industries and verified the environmental inducement hypothesis, indicating that environmental regulation has an important role to influence Brazilian firms in order to adopt both technical and organizational environmental innovations.

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.
