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 …

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

Fuel efficiency improvements in vehicles reduce the cost of travel, which could stimulate
drivers to travel further limiting energy savings. Estimates of this effect, known as the …

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 …

To achieve reductions in carbon emissions, most governments are seeking ways to improve
energy efficiency throughout the economy. It is generally assumed that such improvements …

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 …

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

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 …

The fossil fuel-driven transport sector has been one of the major contributors to CO 2
emission across the world keeping it on the energy policy agenda for the past three …

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 …
