TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of changes in fuel prices and fuel intensity on overall fuel consumption and the demand for vehicle km driven in car passenger transport is analyzed, and the major conclusion is that technical standards as the only policy instrument will have limited success.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ a slack-based version of the Malmquist-Luenberger index to measure and decompose technological progress to determine the role of spatial correlation in determining regional energy consumption.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of energy rebound effects in China's economy at the aggregate and sectoral level over 2006-2010 was presented, which showed that the aggregate sectors' rebound effect is about 11.31%, which is larger than without considering the interaction among sectors (11.25%).

12 Jun 2015TL;DR: A definitive guide to the rebound effect in home heating can be found in this paper, where the authors discuss the effect of technological intervention on the home heating service use after a technological intervention aimed at reducing consumption.
Abstract: This is a definitive guide to the rebound effect in home heating – the increase in energy service use after a technological intervention aimed at reducing consumption. It sets out what the effect is, how it plays out in the home heating sector, what this implies for energy saving initiatives in this sector, and how it relates to rebound effects in other sectors. The book outlines how the concept of the rebound effect has been developed and the scope of research on it, both generally and particularly in the home heating sector. Within the context of energy and CO2 emissions policy, it summarises the empirical evidence, exploring its causes and the attempts that are being made to mitigate it. Various definitions of the rebound effect are considered, in particular the idea of the effect as an energy-efficiency ‘elasticity’. The book shows how this definition can be rigorously applied to thermal retrofits, and to national consumption data, to give logically consistent rebound effect results that can be coherently compared with those of other sectors, and allow policy makers to have more confidence in the predictions about potential energy savings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the fuel market rebound effect in the United States Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) and show that RFS2 appears to reduce GHG emissions, but it actually increases emissions when all fuel GHG intensity targets are met.
