Rebounds Are Structural Effects of Infrastructures and Markets
The promise of energy efficiency brings us to a lighter world, to a world that has less “losses” or dissipation. Energy efficiency is the realm of engineers, for whom machines can be described as…

Consumption and the Rebound Effect: An Industrial Ecology Perspective
Measures taken to protect the environment often have other, unintended effects on society. One concern is that changed behavior may offset part of the environmental gain, something that has variously…

ENERGY REBOUND AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: A REVIEW OF THE MAIN ISSUES AND RESEARCH NEEDS
The tragedy of energy efficiency. An interdisciplinary analysis of rebound effects
Abstract Energy efficiency improvements are generally seen as the most cost-efficient and effective strategies to achieve a rapid transi-tion to a more sustainable society. However, so-called rebound…
A Microeconomic Framework for Evaluating Energy Efficiency Rebound and Some Implications
Improving the efficiency with which we use energy is often said to be the most cost-effective way to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, such improvements usually lower the cost of…
Will progress in science and technology avert or accelerate global collapse? A critical analysis and policy recommendations
Industrial society will move towards collapse if its total environmental impact (I), expressed either in terms of energy and materials use or in terms of pollution, increases with time, i.e., dI/dt >…
Macroscopic rebound effects as argument for economic degrowth
The rebound effect could be defined as the increase of consumption linked to the reduction of limits to use a technology. These limits might be monetary, temporal, social, physical, energetic,…
Modeling green growth and resource efficiency: new results
Green growth is an environmental policy strategy that aims at an absolute decoupling between economic growth and resource consumption. As far as the applied policy measures focus on direct…

Energy demand since 1986 seems inconsistent with the notion of constant income and price elasticities reported in the literature. Energy demand growth remained sluggish despite the simultaneous…

The Induced Innovation Hypothesis and Energy-Saving Technological Change
It follows from Hicks' induced innovation hypothesis that rising energy prices in the last two decades should have induced energy-saving innovation. We formulate the hypothesis concretely using a…
Vehicle Use and Fuel Economy: How Big is the "Rebound" Effect?
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 improvement…

In the late 1970s and for most of the 1980s, residential energy use in the OECD underwent significant changes. Many of these changes were a result of more efficient energy use in response to higher…
Another Look at U.S. Passenger Vehicle Use and the 'Rebound' Effect from Improved Fuel Efficiency
Recently, Greene (1992) analyzed vehicle miles travelled for U.S. passenger vehicles over 1966-89 to econometrically estimate the "rebound" effect in fuel consumption resulting from improved fuel…
