Energy efficiency and consumption — the rebound effect — a survey
TLDR
In this paper, a review of some of the relevant literature from the US offers definitions and identifies sources including direct, secondary, and economy-wide sources and concludes that the range of estimates for the size of the rebound effect is very low to moderate.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a Sustainable Energy Balance: Progressive Efficiency and the Return of Energy Conservation
Jeffrey Harris,Rick Diamond,Maithili Iyer,Christopher Payne,Carl Blumstein,Hans-Paul Siderius +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the concept of progressive efficiency, with the expected or required level of efficiency varying as a function of house size, appliance capacity, or more generally, the scale of energy services.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the direct rebound effect for on-road freight transportation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a critical review of the literature related to the HDV rebound effect, and demonstrate that the lack of focused studies in this area combined with the variability and heterogeneity of the trucking sector limit general understanding of the rebound effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economic structure and energy savings from energy efficiency in households
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between energy efficiency improvements and the economic structure, and between the direct and indirect rebound effect, and the limits of the input-output methodology in assessing the direct effect of energy efficiency improvement in households in Catalonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decomposition analysis of tourism CO2 emissions for sustainable development: A case study of China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors developed an alternative decomposition technique that uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) and distance functions to examine the sources of change in tourism CO2 emissions; this method offers advantages in measuring the contribution of factor inputs to CO 2 emissions change and has flexible data requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI
How organizational and global factors condition the effects of energy efficiency on CO2 emission rebounds among the world's power plants
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a dataset containing nearly every fossil-fuel power plant in the world to determine whether the impact of efficiency on emissions varies by plants' age, size, and location in global economic and normative systems.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
