Abstract This article offers a simple, easy-to-use tool, CECANT, that allows policy analysts to calculate the economy-wide or sectoral energy use effects of new or prospective energy efficiency technologies. Such effects are in general intricate and subtle. Unlike more complex general equilibrium models, the tool requires only that the researcher has access to econometric estimates of the economy’s (or sector’s) cost function. CECANT enables analysts to rapidly address key policy questions…

Exploring Jevons’ Paradox
The view that economically justified energy-efficiency improvements will increase rather than reduce energy consumption was first put forward by the British economist, William Stanley Jevons in 1865…
