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:

Willingness to pay and price elasticities of demand for energy-efficient appliances: Combining the hedonic approach and demand systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a combined approach for estimating willingness to pay for the attributes represented by energy efficiency labels and providing reliable price elasticities of demand (own and cross) for close substitutes (e.g. those with low energy efficiency and those with higher energy efficiency).

The ethics in balancing control and freedom when engineering solutions for sustainable behaviour
TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-pollination of design for sustainability and user-centred design has distinguished several strategies for design-led behavioural change, which differ with regard to the levels of control and responsibility that users are left with, ranging from empowerment through information about consequences of behaviour to blocking behaviour or forcing sustainable practices upon individuals.

Why achieving the Paris Agreement requires reduced overall consumption and production
Eva Alfredsson,Magnus Bengtsson,Halina Szejnwald Brown,Cindy Isenhour,Sylvia Lorek,Dimitris Stevis,Philip J. Vergragt +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that technological solutions to the challenge of dangerous climate change are urgent and necessary but to be effective they need to be accompanied by reductions in the total level of consumption and pro

Evaluating the direct and indirect rebound effects in household energy consumption behavior: A case study of Beijing
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors examined whether increases in energy efficiency of major household items cause additional short-run utilization of these end uses and other end uses for households in Beijing, and an integrated model was first developed by combining a Logit model and a resource allocation model, where the former represents the choice of end-use ownership and the latter describes the end use usage.

The Economic Impacts of Droughts: A Framework for Analysis
TL;DR: The authors proposed a new conceptual framework based on two sources of economic impact: green water and blue water, and argued that because each source of drought impacts the economy in different ways, they must be differentiated in any assessment of economic impacts.

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.
