TLDR
In this paper, a review of some of the relevant literature from the US offers definitions and identifies sources including direct, secondary, and economy-wide sources and concludes that the range of estimates for the size of the rebound effect is very low to moderate.About:

Consumption and the Rebound Effect: An Industrial Ecology Perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify technical spillover effects, such as negative side effects and negative co-benefits, of measures directed to solve one type of problem, but do not take into account these other effects.

Jevons’ Paradox revisited: The evidence for backfire from improved energy efficiency
TL;DR: The evidence in favour of ''Jevons Paradox'' is far from conclusive, but it does suggest that economywide rebound effects are larger than is conventionally assumed and that energy plays a more important role in driving productivity improvements and economic growth than is conventional assumed as mentioned in this paper.

Positive and negative spillover of pro-environmental behavior: An integrative review and theoretical framework
Heather Barnes Truelove,Amanda R. Carrico,Elke U. Weber,Kaitlin T. Raimi,Michael P. Vandenbergh +4 more
TL;DR: This article provided a unifying theoretical framework and used the framework to review the existing research on pro-environmental behavior spillover, identifying different decision modes as competing mechanisms that drive adoption of initial environmental behaviors with different consequences for subsequent environmental behaviors, leading to positive, negative or no spillover.

Effect of insulating existing houses on health inequality: cluster randomised study in the community
Philippa Howden-Chapman,Anna Matheson,Julian Crane,Helen Viggers,Malcolm Cunningham,Tony Blakely,Chris Cunningham,Alistair Woodward,Kay Saville-Smith,Des O'Dea,Martin Kennedy,Michael J. Baker,Nick Waipara,Ralph Chapman,Gabrielle Davie +14 more
TL;DR: Insulating existing houses led to a significantly warmer, drier indoor environment and resulted in improved self rated health, self reported wheezing, days off school and work, and visits to general practitioners as well as a trend for fewer hospital admissions for respiratory conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy efficiency—a critical view
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that a more effective CO 2 policy is to concentrate on shifting to non-fossil fuels, like renewables, subsidized through a carbon tax.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
