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 national targets and actions cannot be considered independently. This paper …

-wide impacts of increased efficiency in household energy use. We take as an illustrative case study the effect of a 5% improvement … in household energy efficiency on the UK economy. This impact is measured through simulations that use models that have … size of the rebound effect on total energy use depends upon: the elasticity of substitution of energy in household …

Rebound is the extent to which improvements in energy efficiency fail to translate fully into reductions in energy use … because of the implicit fall in the price of energy, when measured in efficiency units. This paper discusses aspects of the … rebound effect that are introduced once energy is considered as a domestically produced commodity. A partial equilibrium …

technological change - improvements in energy efficiency - on absolute levels of CO2 emissions, on the carbon intensity of the … substitution between energy and non-energy inputs, responses in the labour market and the structure of the economy. Our results … demonstrate the key role played by the general equilibrium price elasticity of demand for energy, and the relative influence of …

In this paper, we use CGE modelling techniques to identify the impact on energy use of an improvement in energy … efficiency in the household sector. The main findings are that 1) when the price of energy is measured in natural units, the …; 2) when households internalize efficiency, the improvement in energy efficiency reduces the price of energy in …

However, in a system-wide context, improvements in energy efficiency lower the cost of energy in efficiency units and … may even stimulate the consumption and production of energy measured in physical units, and increase pollution …. Simulations of a computable general equilibrium model of Scotland suggest that an across the board stimulus to energy efficiency …
