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.

The food waste hierarchy as a framework for the management of food surplus and food waste

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the factors that give rise to food waste throughout the food supply chain, and propose a framework to identify and prioritize the most appropriate options for prevention and management of food waste.

Empirical estimates of the direct rebound effect: A review

TL;DR: The evidence in favour of Jevons Paradox is far from conclusive, but it does suggest that economywide rebound effects are larger than is conventionally assumed and that energy plays a more important role in driving productivity improvements and economic growth than is normally assumed as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fuel efficiency and motor vehicle travel: the declining rebound effect

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an empirical specification for motor vehicles based on a simple aggregate model that simultaneously determines vehicle-miles traveled (VMT), vehicles, and fuel efficiency.

Global Energy Assessment: Toward a Sustainable Future

TL;DR: The Global Energy Assessment (GEA) as mentioned in this paper brings together over 300 international researchers to provide an independent, scientifically based, integrated and policy-relevant analysis of current and emerging energy issues and options.

A review of new demand elasticities with special reference to short and long run effects of price changes

TL;DR: The use of the price mechanism is particularly important because of its contribution to generating funds for public or private expenditure, and helping markets to operate more efficiently by ensuring that the external costs of pollution and congestion are met by those who cause them.

U.S. Energy Policy and Economic Growth, 1975-2000

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new approach to the quantitative analysis of U.S. energy policy, based on an integration of econometric modeling and input-output analysis.

The Khazzoom-Brookes Postulate and Neoclassical Growth

TL;DR: In a disturbing assault on intuition and conventional wisdom, Khazzoom and Brookes have asserted that energy efficiency improvements might increase, rather than decrease energy consumption as mentioned in this paper, which would accelerate the need for offshore drilling rather than provide a substitute for it.

Analysing gasoline demand elasticities: a survey

TL;DR: A survey of studies on gasoline demand can be found in this article, where the authors find a fair degree of agreement concerning average short-run and even long-run income and price elasticities.

The greenhouse effect: the fallacies in the energy efficiency solution

Len Brookes
- 01 Mar 1990 - 
TL;DR: The view that widespread improvements in energy efficiency can by themselves do anything to halt the build-up of greenhouse gases around the globe is fundamentally unsound It is based on the same fallacies that underlie the claim that energy savings from improving efficiency can substitute for new energy supply as discussed by the authors.
