TL;DR: In this paper, the United States has established various policies to support a transition to biofuels from fossil fuels as part of its strategy to achieve energy security and independence These policies include mandates, tax credits, and import tariffs aimed at developing the nascent biofuel industry to compare the impact of various energy sources requires a comprehensive understanding of both direct and indirect effects.
Abstract: The United States has established various policies to support a transition to biofuels from fossil fuels as part of its strategy to achieve energy security and independence These policies include mandates, tax credits, and import tariffs aimed at developing the nascent biofuel industry To compare the impact of various energy sources requires a comprehensive understanding of both direct and indirect effects This chapter discusses some of the indirect effects, including land use change, fuel rebound effect, and balance of trade effect It finds that due to the ubiquity of energy, indirect effects impact numerous markets and that an already noncompetitive energy market that is capital intensive exacerbates the challenge of introducing biofuels While first-generation biofuels contributed to rural development and reduced dependency on imported fuel sources, they have failed to reduce GHG emissions significantly Introduction of advanced biofuels is challenged by the blend wall in the US and high costs, there is much opportunity for them to contribute significantly to energy security but also reducing GHG emissions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared fuel intensity (L/100 km) assessed under standard conditions (performance tests) with actual consumption recorded on road tests, concluding that journeying fuel intensity improved much less in normal driving conditions than in performance tests, and that rebound effects associated with increased vehicle power were consistently evident and ranged from 6.130% to 20.21% depending on the statistical model employed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a sophisticated methodology for designing optimal combinations of taxes and subsides depending on different policy goals such as budget neutrality, increasing the proportion of efficient appliances, etc.
Abstract: Subsidies to promote the purchase of energy-efficient household appliances have been extensively used in many countries. This paper deals with the case of the Spanish rebate scheme, and proposes the use of both subsidies and taxes as a more effective way of promoting efficient appliances. The authors propose a sophisticated methodology for designing optimal combinations of taxes and subsides depending on different policy goals such as budget neutrality, increasing the proportion of efficient appliances, etc.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of energy efficiency, rebound effect, on energy production, consumption, saving, import as well as inflation and current account deficit are examined using time series analysis in the period of 1967-2015 in Turkish economy.
Abstract: In this study, the effects of energy efficiency, rebound effect, on energy production, consumption, saving, import as well as inflation and current account deficit are examined using time series analysis in the period of 1967-2015 in Turkish economy. Firstly, in order to determine the stationary level of the variables ADF and PP unit root tests are used and the results show that all of the variables considered within the model are stationary at the first difference level. Second, the finding of Johansen-Juselius cointegration analyze reveals the existence of long-run relationships among variables, and Granger causality analysis reflects at least the validity of one-way causal links among variables. The findings of the VEC analysis point out that the Jevons Paradox or rebound effect is valid in the Turkish economy, which means that energy consumption rises as energy efficiency and production increases. In addition, the findings show that depending on increasing energy consumption energy import level rises and therefore current account deficit and inflation begin to deteriorate, also.
