Consumer behavior in energy-efficient homes: The limited merits of energy performance ratings as benchmarks
Florian Heesen,Reinhard Madlener +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate to what extent the current EPR scheme in place in Germany today can address behavioral issues and find evidence that it is not necessarily the behavioral dimension, but rather the static and mostly technically guided calculation of the EPRs itself that accounts for the major part of the deviations.

The role of context in residential energy interventions: A meta review
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the context on the effectiveness of residential energy interventions is studied by means of a large meta analysis of literature, and the role of context plays in these explicit.

The determinants of fuel use in the trucking industry - volume, fleet characteristics and the rebound effect
Bruno De Borger,Ismir Mulalic +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the effect of fuel prices on fuel use in the trucking industry in Denmark. And they find that higher fuel prices raise the average capacity of trucks, and they induce firms to invest in newer, typically more fuel efficient, trucks.

Can Rebound Effects Explain Why Sustainable Mobility Has Not Been Achieved
TL;DR: In this article, three main strategies exist for achieving sustainable mobility: efficiency, substitution, and volume reduction, and rebound effects associated with all three of the main strategies that will lead to offsetting expected savings in energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector.

Review on carbon emissions, energy consumption and low-carbon economy in China from a perspective of global climate change
Lei Shen,Yanzhi Sun +1 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors presented the domestic Chinese studies on this hotpot issue, and obtained the following findings: China is now the largest energy consumer and CO2 emitter of the world, leading to much interest in researches on the nexus between energy consumption, carbon emissions and low-carbon economy.

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.
