Do energy efficiency improvements reduce energy use? : empirical evidence on the economy-wide rebound effect in Europe and the United States

Berner, Anne; Bruns, Stephan B.; Moneta, Alessio; … - 2021

Improving energy efficiency is often considered to be one of the keys to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, efficiency gains also reduce the cost of energy services and may even reduce the price of energy, resulting in energy use rebounding and potential energy use savings being eaten...

Estimating the economy-wide rebound effect using empirically identified structural vector autoregressions

Bruns, Stephan B.; Moneta, Alessio; Stern, David I. - 2019

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, which vary widely, are based on computable general...

Macroeconomic Time-Series Evidence that Energy Efficiency Improvements Do not Save Energy

Bruns, Stephan - 2019

The size of the economy-wide rebound effect is crucial for estimating the contribution that energy efficiency improvements can make to reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. We provide the first empirical general equilibrium estimate of the economy-wide rebound effect. We use a...

Challenges and barriers to sustainable energy consumption in the Silesian Voivodeship

Słupik, Sylwia - In: Economic and environmental studies : a journal for … 15 (2015) 3, pp. 303-322

One of the main factors in achieving the ecological development goals is the change of unsustainable consumption patterns. Households play here a crucial role. The high level of urbanization and industrialization in the Silesian Voivodeship has caused serious environmental degradation, which in...

Directed technical change and energy intensity dynamics : structural change vs. energy efficiency

Haas, Christian; Kempa, Karol - 2016

This paper uses a theoretical model with Directed Technical Change to analyse the observed heterogeneous energy intensity developments. Based on the empirical evidence on the underlying drivers of energy intensity developments, we decompose changes in aggregate energy intensity into structural...

Energy efficiency and industrial output : the case of the iron and steel industry

Flues, Florens; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G.; Vögele, Stefan - 2013

The iron and steel industry is one of the most carbon emitting and energy consuming sectors in Europe. At the same time this sector is of high economic importance for the European Union. Therefore, while public environmental and energy policies target this sector, there is political concern that...

ICT and the demand for energy : evidence from OECD countries

Rexhaeuser, Sascha; Schulte, Patrick; Welsch, Heinz - 2013

This paper analyzes the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) and energy demand. We construct a comprehensive cross-country cross-industry panel data set covering 13 years, 10 OECD countries, and 27 industries. Using up to 2889 country-industry observations, we find...

Catching the rebound : economy-wide implications of an efficiency shock in the provision of transport services by households

Koesler, Simon - 2013

We investigate the rebound effect of a 10% energy cefficiency improvement in the provision of private transport services by German households. In the process, we take into account that household behaviour may be influenced by habits, build on a detailed representation of the provision of private...
