The economy-wide rebound effect from improved energy efficiency in Swedish industries–A general equilibrium analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse the rebound effect from increased efficiency in industrial energy use in Sweden and show that energy efficiency improvements can have significant micro-and macroeconomic impact on Sweden.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rebound effect: An evolutionary perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamic-evolutionary theoretical framework was proposed to explain the rebound effect in energy conservation policies that aim to reduce energy consumption through energy efficiency development, and the authors showed that higher complexity, due to a greater energy density rate, counteracts the positive effects of energy efficiency.

China's fuel economy standards for passenger vehicles: Rationale, policy process, and impacts
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed the policy-making background, including the motivations, key players, and the process, and then explained the content and the features of the FES and why there was no compliance flexibility built into it.

Carbon Emissions from the Commercial Building Sector: The Role of Climate, Quality, and Incentives
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the relationship between a building's electricity consumption and the physical attributes of buildings, lease incentive terms, indicators of human capital, and climatic conditions, and find that buildings that are newer and of higher quality consume more electricity.

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.
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.
