Beyond national economy-wide rebound effects : an applied general equilibrium analysis incorporating international spillover effects
Koesler, Simon; Swales, John Kim; Turner, Karen - 2014
This paper proposes that the national focus of energy ‘rebound’ studies should be extended to an international context in the presence of supra-national agreements such as EU 20-20-20. The potential for energy efficiency improvements in one nation to impact energy use in others means that...
