TL;DR: In the three sub-sectors of the TI, MCF’s decrement effect is the strongest, and its reboundeffect is the weakest, which indicate that MCF is the biggest contributor to the discharge reduction of China”s TI.
Abstract: The rapid development of China's textile industry (TI) has led to severe water environmental stress. Water environmental stress of China's TI mainly comes from large quantities of discharged wastewater and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The sustainable development of the TI is realized to achieve the decoupling between economic growth and water environmental stress. This study analyzes the decoupling elasticity results from wastewater discharge and COD discharge, respectively. Decoupling results show that TI's wastewater has strong decoupling from economic growth for three years (2002, 2013-2014) while COD has strong decoupling for six years (2002-2003, 2008, 2010, 2013-2014). The paper further calculates the decoupling elasticity results of the TI's three sub-sectors (manufacture of textile sector, manufacture of textile wearing and apparel sector, and manufacture of chemical fibers (MCF) sector), and calculates the factors that affect wastewater discharge. The decrement and rebound effects of wastewater discharge are analyzed based on calculated results. Decomposition results show that the scale factor is the most significant contributor to wastewater discharge, the intensity factor inhibits wastewater discharge, and the effect of the structure factor is not evident. The decrement effect of TI increases yearly, but the rebound effect shows that the absolute amount of wastewater discharge also increases. The rebound effect has declined since 2012. In the three sub-sectors, MCF's decrement effect is the strongest, and its rebound effect is the weakest, which indicate that MCF is the biggest contributor to the discharge reduction of China's TI.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid model is proposed to evaluate the impact of climate policy in Korea's manufacturing sector when rebound effects are considered, showing that the expected emissions reduction due to new technology adoption in the manufacturing sector is 23.8 million tons CO2eq without rebound effects, but when they are included, the actual emission reduction is about 50% of the expected amount.

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of propensity score matching with the difference-in-differences method was used to examine the change in household electricity consumption that may be caused by replacing air conditioners with more energy-efficient ones.
Abstract: Switching to more energy-efficient appliances may lead to higher energy demand. This phenomenon is known as the rebound effect, which may lead to less power saving than expected prior to the switch. Using a combination of propensity score matching with the difference-in-differences method, we examine the change in household electricity consumption that may be caused by replacing air conditioners with more energy-efficient ones. Based on the results of our estimations, we calculate the magnitude of the rebound effect for summer and winter. We find that the rebound effect is positive in summer and winter, and the magnitude is higher in winter (7.87% versus almost 100%, respectively). The estimated rebound effect is small in summer, implying that the power-saving effect due to switching to energy-efficient air conditioners is sizable. On the other hand, no power-saving effect due to the switch was found in winter.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that increases in energy efficiency are reduced by the rebound effect, and that efficiency gains on the micro level do not lead to proportionate reductions of energy consumption on the macro level.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate a model of vehicle choice and kilometers driven to analyze the long-run impacts of fuel conservation policies in the Indian car market, and simulate the effects of petrol and diesel fuel taxes and a diesel car tax, taking into account their interactions with the existing petrol fuel tax and car sales taxes.
