Contrary to conventional wisdom, more efficient use of energy may actually through rebound
effects lead to greater instead of less total consumption of energy—or at least to no …

The 'rebound effect'from more efficient use of energy has been well investigated, with plenty
of evidence suggesting that the 'direct'rebound effect is relatively small for most energy …

This report forms part of the TPA's assessment of evidence for a rebound effect from
improved energy efficiency. Technical Report 5 focuses upon the relationship between …

This article attempts to summarise the complex, wide ranging and unresolved debate within
the economics literature on the possibility of decoupling economic growth from energy use. It …

Energy use and economic output are positively correlated, though energy intensity has
declined over time and is usually lower in richer countries than in poorer countries …

The majority of global energy scenarios anticipate a structural break in the relationship
between energy consumption and gross domestic product (GDP), with several scenarios …

The phenomenon of rebound effects has sparked considerable academic, policy and press
debate in recent years over the effectiveness of energy efficiency policy. There has been a …

The size of the economy-wide rebound effect is crucial for estimating the contribution that
energy efficiency improvements can make to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and for …

Our paper presents a new approach to estimating the macroeconomic growth energy
rebound effect. Utilizing data envelopment analysis, our suggested methodology, unlike the …

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 …
