TLDR
In this article, the authors analyse the rebound effect from increased efficiency in industrial energy use in Sweden and show that energy efficiency improvements can have significant micro-and macroeconomic impact on Sweden.About:

Table 4: Sensitivity analysis with respect to elasticities of substitution. Impacts on macroeconomic indicators and the rebound effect on energy use following a five percent increase in efficiency of the industrial use of energy. 
Table 1: Summary of sensitivity analyses for the long run economy-wide rebound effect with respect to elasticities of substitution. Two levels of the production structure are treated separately: substitution between energy and materials and substitution between value added and the intermediate composite good. The rebound effect is presented in percent. 
Table 7: Impacts on macroeconomic indicators and economy-wide rebound effect following a five percent increase in efficiency of the industrial use of energy (scenario 2 excl. energy sectors) given a notional cost keeping the production costs constant initially and that the elasticities between material and energy are reduced by 50% in energy intensive sectors. Percentage difference in year 2035 compared to the benchmark scenario (without the increase in energy efficiency). Rebound effect in percent.

Energy efficiency and economy-wide rebound effects: A review of the evidence and its implications
Paul E. Brockway,Steven Sorrell,Gregor Semieniuk,Gregor Semieniuk,Matthew Kuperus Heun,Victor Court +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the evidence on the size of economy-wide rebound effects and explore whether and how such effects are taken into account within the models used to produce global energy scenarios.

Energy rebound effect in China's Industry: An aggregate and disaggregate analysis
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the impact of output growth on energy consumption in China's industrial sectors with an index decomposition model and the energy rebound effect in the industrial sectors using a panel data model using the annual data during 1994-2012.

Conceptualizing energy services: A review of energy and well-being along the Energy Service Cascade
TL;DR: The Energy Service Cascade (ESC) as discussed by the authors was proposed as a conceptual framework aimed at clarifying and bridging different approaches to energy services in different contexts and scientific fields mainly to emphasize that it is the services provided by energy rather than energy carriers that people demand and that generate well-being.

The direct and indirect CO2 rebound effect for private cars in China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper utilized a two-stage Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model to estimate the total CO2 rebound effect for China's private cars during 2001-2012 at the provincial level, then uses a panel data model to analyze its impact factors.

How robust are estimates of the rebound effect of energy efficiency improvements? A sensitivity analysis of consumer heterogeneity and elasticities
TL;DR: In this article, a computable general equilibrium model of the Austrian economy incorporating multiple household groups with heterogeneous preferences and analyzes how improving efficiency by 10% affects household fossil fuel consumption.

Energy efficiency and consumption — the rebound effect — a survey
TL;DR: 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.

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.

Defining the rebound effect
TL;DR: In this article, the authors give rigorous definitions of the rebound effect not only in the well described single commodity case, but also for a multiple commodity case and show that the familiar laws for the single case do not hold for the multiple case.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a rigorous definition of the rebound effect, to clarify key conceptual issues and to highlight the potential consequences of various assumptions for empirical estimates of the effect.
