Previous research suggests that the elasticity of light-duty motor vehicle travel with respect to
fuel cost, known as the “rebound effect,” is modest in size and probably declined in …

US national time series data on vehicle travel by passenger cars and light trucks covering
the period 1966–2007 are used to test for the existence, size and stability of the rebound …

We estimate the rebound effect for motor vehicles, by which improved fuel efficiency causes
additional travel, using a pooled cross section of US states for 1966-2001. Our model …

The consumer response to changing gasoline prices has long interested economists and
policymakers, for it has important implications for the effects of gasoline taxation and vehicle …

Direct rebound effects result from increased consumption of cheaper energy services. For
example, more fuel-efficient cars encourage more car travel. This study is the first to quantify …

By reducing the fuel costs of travel, motor vehicle efficiency improvements tend to increase
the demand for travel, thereby offsetting some of the energy-saving benefit of the efficiency …

The United States and many other countries are dramatically tightening fuel economy
standards for passenger vehicles. Higher fuel economy reduces per-mile driving costs and …

We estimate the rebound effect for motor vehicles, by which improved fuel efficiency causes
additional travel, using a panel of US states for 1966-2001. Our model accounts for …

Rebound effects measure the behaviorally induced offset in the reduction of energy
consumption following efficiency improvements. Using panel estimation methods and …

The rebound effect is the phenomenon underlying the disproportionality between energy
efficiency improvements and observed energy savings. In road transport, the effect reveals …
