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:

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.

Fuel efficiency and motor vehicle travel: the declining rebound effect
Kenneth A. Small,Kurt Van Dender +1 more
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.

Capital-energy substitution and the multi-level CES production function
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors clarified a misconception in Sato's multi-level CES production function, and used the function in testing for capital-energy substitution in Taiwanese manufacturing, and the empirical results show that capital and energy are substitutes.

The U.S. Demand for Highway Travel and Motor Fuel
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the prospects for US highway travel and fuel demand, disaggregated by vehicle type (cars and light trucks) and showed that despite projections by the US Department of Energy (DOE/EIA) of virtually no change in highway fuel use in the 1990s, the growth rate of about 1.3% annually.
