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...

The automobile market is one of the most significant sectors of the German economy both in terms of value added and number of employees. This paper focuses on the determinants of automobile demand in Germany from 2008 to 2016. We apply multiple linear regression in order to estimate new...

Space heating and hot water expenditures make up the majority of household energy demand in Germany, at 83.2%, making them an attractive target for energy policies. Using a panel dataset derived from yearly residential household surveys covering the years 1996 to 2014, we identify the...

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...
