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.

The Turning Tide: How Energy has Driven the Transformation of the British Economy Since theIndustrial Revolution
TL;DR: This article showed that between 1960 and 1980, the elasticity of substitution of energy increased substantially, from around 0.7 to more than 2.4, indicating that energy services which depend primarily on fossil fuel inputs, such as transportation, pose a serious limit to the efficacy of efforts aimed at reducing fossil fuel consumption.

Revisiting Heat Energy Consumption Modeling: Household Production Theory Applied to Field Experimental Data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a utility-driven heat energy consumption model based on the Becker's household production theory, which integrates economic, engineering and behavioral elements, and found that the price elasticity of demand is only statistically significant when using yearly aggregated data.

Fueling the US Economy: Energy as a Production Factor from the Great Depression until Today
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between factor augmenting technical change and factor substitution through a nested CES function using capital, labor, and energy inputs was analyzed. But the authors did not consider the effect of factor substitution on technical change.

A conceptual framework for understanding rebound effects with renewable electricity: A new challenge for decarbonizing the electricity sector
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop a conceptual framework for investigating rebound effects that occur consequent to increases in renewable electricity generation and use, which is vitally important due to countries' emerging commitments to decarbonize economies through sector-coupling and strategies such as the large-scale use of green hydrogen produced by electrolysis from renewable electricity.

Macroeconomics and reality
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the style in which their builders construct claims for a connection between these models and reality is inappropriate, to the point at which claims for identification in these models cannot be taken seriously.

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.

The energy-efficiency gap What does it mean?
Adam B. Jaffe,Robert N. Stavins +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify five distinct notions of optimality: the economists' economic potential, the technologists' technical potential, hypothetical potential, narrow social optimum and true social optimum.

The Credibility Revolution in Empirical Economics: How Better Research Design Is Taking the Con out of Econometrics
TL;DR: The authors argue that the primary engine driving improvement has been a focus on the quality of empirical research designs, and that the advantages of a good research design are perhaps most easily apparent in research using random assignment.
