Strong sustainable consumption governance – precondition for a degrowth path?
Sylvia Lorek,Doris Fuchs +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors link two debates and literatures at the cutting edge of sustainable development research and governance: sustainable consumption and degrowth, arguing that these literatures have only recently started to exchange and integrate insights, despite their similar interest in the fundamental systemic challenges to sustainable development.
Missing carbon reductions?: exploring rebound and backfire effects in uk households
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the extent of the Rebound Effect under a range of assumptions concerning consumer purchasing decisions, with varying prices, incomes, and savings levels, and provide guidance on the conditions under which Rebound and Backfire can be minimised.

Missing carbon reductions? Exploring rebound and backfire effects in UK households
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the importance of shifting consumption to lower GHG intensive categories and investing in low carbon investments and estimate that the rebound effect for a combination of three abatement actions by UK households is approximately 34%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Energy Efficiency and the Rebound Effect: Effects on Consumption and Emissions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine how exogenous technological progress, in terms of an increase in energy efficiency, affects consumption choice by Swedish households and thereby emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx).
Journal ArticleDOI
Induced demand and rebound effects in road transport
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed aggregate personal motor-vehicle travel within a simultaneous model of aggregate vehicle travel, fleet size, fuel efficiency, and congestion formation, and found that congestion affects the demand for driving negatively, as expected, and more strongly when incomes are higher.

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.
