Rethinking economy-wide rebound measures: An unbiased proposal
Ana-Isabel Guerra,Ferran Sancho +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an unbiased measure for economy-wide rebound effects was proposed, where not only actual energy savings but also potential energy savings are quantified under general equilibrium conditions, showing that the use of engineering savings instead of general equilibrium potential savings downward biases economy wide rebound effects and upward-biases backfire effects.

Household transitions to energy efficient lighting
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the factors associated with the replacement of old incandescent lamps (ILs) with new energy efficient compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and light emitting diodes (LEDs).

Residential energy efficiency policies: costs, emissions and rebound effects
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-sector computable general equilibrium model of the Norwegian economy is used to explore the cost, emission and energy rebound effects of alternative interpretations of the policy underlying the proposed 2030 energy efficiency goal.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of optimal energy policy instruments on industrial energy efficiency programs, rebound effects, and government policies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors classified the most important academic studies that have addressed the environmental and economic aspects of industrial energy-efficiency programs using a systematic review, and provided some novel recommendations to improve the performance of IEEPs, using some restrictive policies on the negative impacts of rebound effects.

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.
