TL;DR: In this article, the authors extended the Marshallian demand framework to investigate the effects of TI (technological innovation) on energy use in Malaysia and found that increasing GDP per capita and trade openness produce a rebound effect of TI on energy consumption.

TL;DR: In this article, an econometric estimation of the rebound effect for household vehicle travel in the US based on analysis of survey data collected by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) at approximately three-year intervals over a 15-year period was presented.
Abstract: This paper presents an econometric estimation of the rebound effect for household vehicle travel in the US based on analysis of survey data collected by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) at approximately three-year intervals over a 15-year period. The rebound effect measures the tendency to take back potential energy savings from fuel economy improvements as increased travel. Vehicle use models were estimated for one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-vehicle households. The results confirm recent estimates based on national or state-level data: a long-run take back of about 20% of potential energy savings. Consumer responses to changes in fuel economy or fuel price per gallon appear to be equal and opposite in sign. Recognizing the interdependencies among miles of travel, fuel economy and price is key to obtaining meaningful results.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the magnitude of the ''rebound effect'' for space heating in Austria and compare different approaches applied and compared, concluding that despite the fact that all approaches applied have their weaknesses and some results were not highly significant the final outcomes of different approaches show quite good coincidence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use an economy-energy-environment computable general equilibrium (CGE) model for the UK to measure the impact of a 5% across the board improvement in the efficiency of energy use in all production sectors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the theoretical conditions under which such effects would occur and explored their likely significance using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the Scottish economy and found that a general improvement in energy efficiency in the production sectors of the economy initially produces rebound effects that eventually grow into backfire.
