Work less, do less?
Johannes Buhl,José Acosta +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the time use rebound effects of reducing working time and found that time savings due to a reduction in working time trigger relevant rebound effects in terms of resource use.

The energy rebound effect in China's light industry: a translog cost function approach
TL;DR: Based on the translog cost function, the magnitude of rebound effect in China's light industry was estimated for the first time using the dynamic ordinary least squares and seemingly unrelated regression methods as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Will progress in science and technology avert or accelerate global collapse? A critical analysis and policy recommendations
TL;DR: The traditional interpretation of the I = PAT equation reflects the optimistic belief that technological innovation, particularly improvements in eco-efficiency, will significantly reduce the technology (T) factor, and thereby result in a corresponding decline in impact (I) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy sufficiency through social innovation in housing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a basis for broader and more informed debates in policy and research on the potential of sufficiency considerations to contribute to the overall reduction of energy consumption in the residential sector.

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.
