Rebound effect (conservation)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors take a look at various means to handle these contradictions in order to avoid or balance the so-called rebound effect, where gains in ecoefficiency are likely to be annihilated by a larger consumption, resulting in an increased throughput in the economy.

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative approach for estimating energy rebound effect was developed to overcome the limitation that technological progress is not equivalent to energy efficiency improvement, and the empirical result showed that during the period 1981-2011 the rebound effects in China are between 30% and 40%, with an average value of 34.3%.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper employed a co-thinking approach, focusing on how the energy subsidies reform could mitigate the rebound effect in China, and how to achieve an economic and environmental gains that reduced pecuniary spending, improved the distorted energy market and reduced energy consumption simultaneously.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a microeconomic analytical approach to assess the effects of water-saving investments and the resulting irrigation efficiency on water use and consumption at field level, and analyze the relationship between irrigation efficiency, water demand and water pricing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the influential factors of energy consumption in the industries by employing the cointegration method, and estimated the possible energy conservation potential considering energy rebound effect, and showed that GDP and the scale of industries are the deterministic factors increasing energy consumption, while R&D intensity decreases it.
