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...

Fuel Conservation Effect of Energy Subsidy Reform in Iran
Mirshojaeian Hosseini, Hossein; Kaneko, Shinji - Graduate School for International Development and … - 2013
To prevent further increases in energy consumption, the Iranian government commenced energy subsidy reform in 2010. This paper investigates the fuel conservation effects of the reform in Iran using a homothetic translog cost function that provides estimates of the own- and cross-price...

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...
