Mind the gap: A social sciences review of energy efficiency
TL;DR: Energy efficiency is a complex concept which is represented in diverse fields including engineering, economics, energy, computer sciences, environmental sciences, mathematics and physics as mentioned in this paper, but it remains significantly underrepresented, comprising just 2.6% of the total energy efficiency literature.
Recent Evidence for Large Rebound: Elucidating the Drivers and their Implications for Climate Change Models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use historical data spanning centuries to reveal the presence of very large energy efficiency rebound magnitudes, calling into question the energy use forecasts relied on by international bodies investigating climate change mitigation policy.

Strategies for a road transport system based on renewable resources – The case of an import-independent Sweden in 2025
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss how society can decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and the transport sector is often seen as posing one of the most difficult problems in reducing greenhouse gas emission.

Direct rebound effect of residential gas demand: Empirical evidence from France
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the standard OLS regression and autoregressive distributed lag cointegration (ARDL) approach to provide estimates of the magnitude of the rebound effect for residential gas consumption in France.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rebound effect in road transport: A meta-analysis of empirical studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a meta-analysis of 74 primary studies containing 1120 estimates of the direct rebound effect in road transport to evaluate its magnitude and identify its determinants.

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.
