The harmonization and integration of separate national energy markets to an interconnected internal European market is … a top priority of the European Commission.

We investigate the rebound effect of a 10% energy cefficiency improvement in the provision of private transport … rebound effect. Our analysis shows that rebound has the potential to significantly reduce the expected energy savings of an … energy efficiency improvement at households. In particular if households have a flexible demand structure, rebound can erode …
