When do environmental regulations backfire? Onsite industrial electricity generation, energy efficiency and policy instruments
E. Mark Curtis,Jonathan M. Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use Census microdata to study manufacturers' decision to produce electricity onsite and examine how plants adjust onsite generation when they are subject to environmental regulations.

Metabolism and environmental impacts of household consumption: : A review on the assessment, methodology, and drivers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors comprehensively review the biophysical assessment of households from the point of view of materials and energy required and emissions and wastes resulting from household consumption patterns, showing that household metabolism has been mainly assessed from the energetic perspective, stressing household responsibility for emissions of greenhouse effect gases and climate change.

Natural gas demand at the utility level: An application of dynamic elasticities
TL;DR: In this paper, a very general Autoregressive Distributed Lag model is used to simulate the dynamic behavior of natural gas demand and obtain dynamic elasticities, and the long run equilibrium is reached relatively quickly, around 18 months after a change in price or income has occurred, while the literature implies a much longer period for complete adjustments to take place.

What new technology means for the energy demand in China? A sustainable development perspective.
TL;DR: The results of long- and short-run analysis reveal that new technology spurs energy intensity in China, and the existing investment and innovation policy reforms are insufficient to assist the energy sector to cope up with the country’s exceptional economic growth trend.
Mapping rebound effects from sustainable behaviours: key concepts and literature review
TL;DR: The Sustainable Lifestyle Research Group (SLRG) as discussed by the authors is a multi-centre research network collaborating to further understand of the opportunities and constraints on sustainable living in the UK, which includes teams at other internationally acclaimed research centres: the SLRG and SPRG aim to document and analyse the complex links between lifestyles, consumption, everyday practices, values and the transition to sustainable ways of life.

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.
