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:

Building vintage and electricity use: Old homes use less electricity in hot weather
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied whether electricity use in newer or older residential buildings rises more in response to high temperature in a region of Southern California, and found that new buildings (1970-2000) have a statistically significantly higher temperature response than old buildings (pre1970).

The Imaclim-R model: infrastructures, technical inertia and the costs of low carbon futures under imperfect foresight
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the transition costs of moving towards a low carbon society when the second best nature of the economy is accounted for, and quantitatively emphasized the specific risks that the interplay between inertia and imperfect foresight leads to high macroeconomic costs of carbon abatement measures; opportunities of co-benefits from climate policies permitted by the correction of suboptimalities in the reference scenarios.

Green-washing or best case practices? Using circular economy and Cradle to Cradle case studies in business education
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a literature review that describes the application of circular methodologies to education for sustainability, which has been slow to adopt circular systems to the curriculum and recommend that sustainable business curriculum should also focus on de-growth and steady state economy, with these radical alternatives to production becoming a central focus of education of responsible citizens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Greenhouse gas mitigation policies and the transportation sector: The role of feedback effects on policy effectiveness
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of feedback effects on transportation-related GHG reduction policies is analyzed in the transportation sector, where system boundaries are uncertain and feedback among systems components can be complicated.

Beyond energy efficiency and individual behaviours: policy insights from social practice theories
Nicola Labanca,Paolo Bertoldi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that current energy conservation policies are principally informed by quantitative estimates of reductions in energy inputs and neglect how qualitative changes generated in the energy outputs can either offset these reductions or cause higher savings.

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.
