Renewables vs. energy efficiency: The cost of carbon emissions reduction in Spain
TL;DR: In this paper, a bottom-up, static, partial equilibrium, linear programming model of the complete Spanish energy system is presented and the authors conclude that demand side management (DSM) clearly dominates renewable energy (RE) support if the reduction of emissions at minimum cost is the only concern.

Assessing scaling effects of circular economy strategies: A case study on plastic bottle closed-loop recycling in the USA PET market
Geoffrey Lonca,Pascal Lesage,Guillaume Majeau-Bettez,Guillaume Majeau-Bettez,Sophie Bernard,Sophie Bernard,Manuele Margni +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a case study on the circularity of PET in the USA market is presented, where the authors demonstrate that adopting a systemic approach for CE assessment is essential ; instead of looking at one particular product and seeking the best circular case with respect to a specific material content, they suggest to looking at the whole set of products served by the specific material, and to seek the best material market-wide circular case.

User-driven energy efficiency in historic buildings : A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors draw from the general literature on energy efficiency and historic buildings to explain the importance and potential of user-driven energy efficiency in historic buildings, and propose a framework to improve the efficiency of historic buildings.

Carbon pricing and energy efficiency improvement -- why to miss the interaction for developing economies? An illustrative CGE based application to the Pakistan case
TL;DR: In this article, a 20 sector CGE model was employed to explore the impacts of carbon tax and its coordinated implementation with energy efficiency improvement on the Pakistan economy, and the simulation results showed that the impact of the carbon tax on GDP is negative but resulting reductions in pollutant emissions are relatively high.

Technological progress and energy rebound effect in China׳s textile industry: Evidence and policy implications
Boqiang Lin,Hongli Zhao +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Morishima elasticities of substitution (MES) model combined with asymmetric energy prices, trans-log cost function, and other econometric methods to establish a framework to measure the rebound effect in China's textile industry.

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.

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.
