TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the rebound effects of fossil and non-fossil energy consumption separately, and found that non-energy consumption had a higher rebound effect than fossil energy and that technological progress was helpful in decreasing the proportion of fossil energy consumption.
Abstract: Although the rebound effect caused by technological progress has been widely accepted, few studies have estimated and compared the rebound effects of fossil and nonfossil energy separately, because fossil and nonfossil energy consumption have different effects on sustainable development. We use the data envelopment analysis–Malmquist index, logarithmic mean Divisia index, and Jacobian matrix methods to estimate and compare the rebound effects of China's fossil and nonfossil energy during 2006–2014. Empirical results show that nonfossil energy had a higher rebound effect than fossil energy and that technological progress was helpful in decreasing the proportion of fossil energy consumption. Furthermore, we found that technological progress contributed to increases in the relative price of fossil energy, causing nonfossil energy to be more favored. Simultaneously, nonfossil energy produced a substitution effect on fossil energy over the long term. On the basis of the empirical analysis, we also present some environmental policy implications.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper employed a slack-based version of the Malmquist-Luenberger index to measure and decompose technological progress, and a dynamic spatial panel model was applied to account for spatial correlation and explore technological progress from this decomposition perspective.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main factors that affect changes in CO2 emissions of South Africa at national level within the BRICS group of countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) from 1990 to 2014 were investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the effectiveness of fuel efficiency improvements by econometrically estimating the rebound effect, which measures the extent to which higher efficiency causes additional travel.
Abstract: Using a panel of household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2005, this study assesses the effectiveness of fuel efficiency improvements by econometrically estimating the rebound effect, which measures the extent to which higher efficiency causes additional travel. Following a theoretical discussion outlining three alternative definitions of the rebound effect, the econometric analysis generates corresponding estimates using panel methods to control for the effects of unobservables that could otherwise produce spurious results. Our results, which range between 57% and 67%, indicate a rebound that is substantially larger than obtained in other studies, calling into question the efficacy of policies targeted at reducing energy consumption via technological efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that there is a significant correlation between the number of energy efficiency measures adopted and the greatest household reduction in electricity usage, and the connection between the effective use of measures, coincident behavioural change or increased energy awareness and greater energy reduction is discussed.
