TLDR
In this article, the authors studied the size of the rebound effect, the well-known phenomenon that improving energy efficiency may save less energy than expected due to a rebound of energy use.Abstract:
What do we know about the size of the rebound effect, the well-known phenomenon that improving energy efficiency may save less energy than expected due to a rebound of energy use? Is there...read more

Drivers of carbon emission intensity change in China
TL;DR: In this article, structural decomposition analysis (SDA) and quantile regression are employed to investigate the factors that drive changes in carbon emission intensity in China, based on input-output SDA, CEI in China during 1992-2012 is decomposed from the perspectives of the total economy and economic sectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The roles of users in shaping transitions to new energy systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that consumers should be reconceptualized as users who are important stakeholders in the innovation process shaping new routines and enacting system change, and they review the role of users in shifts to new decarbonized and energy-efficient systems.

Material efficiency strategies to reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with buildings, vehicles, and electronics—a review
Edgar G. Hertwich,Saleem H. Ali,Luca Ciacci,Tomer Fishman,Tomer Fishman,Niko Heeren,Eric Masanet,Farnaz Nojavan Asghari,Elsa Olivetti,Stefan Pauliuk,Qingshi Tu,Paul Wolfram +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a systematic trade-off between material use in the production of buildings, vehicles, and appliances and energy use in their operation, requiring a careful life cycle assessment of ME strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the potential for climate change mitigation of consumption options
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize emission mitigation potentials across the consumption domains of food, housing, transport and other consumption, and find that the top 10 consumption options together yield an average mitigation potential of 9.2 tCO2eq/cap, indicating substantial contributions towards achieving the 1.5-2°C target.

Salience and Taxation: Theory and Evidence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that consumers underreact to taxes that are not salient, and that even policies that induce no change in behavior can create efficiency losses, implying that the economic incidence of a tax depends on its statutory incidence.

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.

Psychology and Economics: Evidence from the Field
TL;DR: The authors survey the empirical evidence from the field on three classes of deviations from the standard model: nonstandard prefer- ences, nonstandard beliefs, and nonstandard decision making, and present evidence on overcon- fidence, on the law of small numbers and on projection bias.

Understanding Crude Oil Prices
TL;DR: The authors examines the factors responsible for changes in crude oil prices and concludes that although scarcity rent made a negligible contribution to the price of oil in 1997, it could now begin to play a role.

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.
