Economic Efficiency, Environmental Effectiveness and Political Feasibility of Energy Efficiency Rebates: The Case of the Spanish Energy Efficiency Renove Plan
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the impact of 80€ subsidy on the dishwasher market and compared the results with a 40 € tax for non-labeled ones. But the analysis is extended to go beyond the two extreme scenarios: subsidies without taxes and taxes without subsidies.
Demand curves for electricity efficiency in OECD countries
Aviel Verbruggen,Johan Couder +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate demand curves for electricity efficiency for the years 1991-1997 on a sample of 20 high-income OECD member states, with 1995 as focus year, and stretch their demand curves to add the notion of backstop end-use efficiency level, i.e. the intensity enforced by the price charged to cover the cost of the backstop supplies.

Time Rebound Effect in Households Energy Use: Theory and Evidence
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple theoretical model and empirical evidence for the time rebound effect is presented. But the model is limited to the consumption of time-saving goods and services, and its impact is very small: the extra electricity usage is about 1.4% of daily usage at most.

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.
