TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the rebound effect of different energy types in China based on a static computable general equilibrium model and found that improving energy efficiency of using electricity has the largest positive impact on GDP among the five energy types.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an improved approach incorporating energy efficiency to estimate the demand elasticity of useful energy service with respect to energy service price and decompose the direct rebound effect into substitution and output channels, enabling them to further understand the microeconomic mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the impacts of changes in future temperatures on the heating and cooling services of buildings and the resulting energy and macroeconomic effects at global and regional levels, and showed that welfare gains and losses are associated more with changes in energy exports and imports than with changing in energy consumption for buildings.
Abstract: The energy sector is not only a major contributor to greenhouse gases, it is also vulnerable to climate change and will have to adapt to future climate conditions. The objective of this study is to analyze the impacts of changes in future temperatures on the heating and cooling services of buildings and the resulting energy and macro-economic effects at global and regional levels. For this purpose, the techno-economic TIAM-WORLD (TIMES Integrated Assessment Model) and the general equilibrium GEMINI-E3 (General Equilibrium Model of International-National Interactions between Economy, Energy and Environment) models are coupled with a climate model, PLASIM-ENTS (Planet-Simulator- Efficient Numerical Terrestrial Scheme). The key results are as follows. At the global level, the climate feedback induced by adaptation of the energy system to heating and cooling is found to be insignificant, partly because heating and cooling-induced changes compensate and partly because they represent a limited share of total final energy consumption. However, significant changes are observed at regional levels, more particularly in terms of additional power capacity required to satisfy additional cooling services, resulting in increases in electricity prices. In terms of macro-economic impacts, welfare gains and losses are associated more with changes in energy exports and imports than with changes in energy consumption for heating and cooling. The rebound effect appears to be non-negligible. To conclude, the coupling of models of different nature was successful and showed that the energy and economic impacts of climate change on heating and cooling remain small at the global level, but changes in energy needs will be visible at more local scale.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used the carbon emissions trading pilot study of 2013 as a quasi-natural experiment, combined with panel data of 30 provinces and cities in China during 2000-2017, and applied the difference-in-difference (DID) model to investigate the specific impact and mechanism of the Carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS) on energy efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive approach to the rebound effect and its relationship with the eco-innovation concept is presented by calculating original rebound estimates of specific transport innovations and assessing these in absolute terms, as well as by obtaining novel insights into the drivers behind the environmental rebound effect.
