Direct and Indirect Rebound Effects in German Households : A Linearized Almost Ideal Demand System Approach

Schmitz, Hendrik - 2019

We estimate direct and indirect energy rebound effects for a wide variety of goods and services in Germany. To this end, we employ a linearized approximation of the popular Almost Ideal Demand System (LAIDS) approach suggested by Deaton and Muellbauer (1980). Excluding measures of energy...
