The size of the economy-wide rebound effect is crucial for estimating the contribution that energy efficiency … improvements can make to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and for understanding the drivers of energy use. Existing estimates … autoregressive (SVAR) model, we identify the dynamic causal impact of structural shocks, including an energy efficiency shock …

World and U.S. energy intensities have declined over the past century, falling at an average rate of approximately 1 ….2–1.5 percent a year. The decline has persisted through periods of stagnating or even falling energy prices, suggesting the decline … change theory to understand the autonomous decline in energy intensity and investigate whether the decline will continue. We …
