In this paper, by using panel data and a fixed effects model, we estimate the direct rebound effect related to space heating in German residential households. The data used are from a representative repeated survey among some 11,000 households in Germany provided by the German Institute of...

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...

This paper discusses the effect of residential energy prosuming on households' energy consumption behavior with the objective to find evidence for a “prosumer rebound effect” on energy consumption. Prosuming is the partial self-consumption of distributed energy production. We hypothesize...

With the increased adoption of solar photovoltaics (PV) and batteries, and the use of electronicsand appliances powered by direct current (DC), e.g. heat pumps, and electric vehicles (EVs), DCtechnologies offer higher energy efficiency compared to the entrenched alternating current...
