A General Equilibrium View of Global Rebound Effects

Wei, Taoyuan - 2010

How do energy efficiency gains affect energy consumption? The effects are generally called ldquo;rebound effectsrdquo; in the literature. Previous studies have extensively focused on only part of the global economy to study rebound effects, e.g. energy consumption by households, one industry, or...

How Does Energy-Cost Lead to Energy Efficiency? Panel Evidence from Canada

Gamtessa, Samuel - 2016

An increase in energy-cost can induce energy efficiency improvement - a reduction in energy-output ratio. There are well-established theoretical conjectures of how this can take place. As the relative energy-cost increases, it induces firms to reallocate and selectively utilize the most...

Demand-Side Management by Electric Utilities in Switzerland : Analyzing Its Impact on Residential Electricity Demand

Boogen, Nina - 2016

In this paper we use panel data from a survey conducted on 30 Swiss utilities to estimate the Impact of demand-side management (DSM) activities on residential electricity demand using DSM spending and an energy efficiency score. Using the variation in DSM activities within utilities and across...

How Robust are Estimates of the Rebound Effect of Energy Efficiency Improvements? A Sensitivity Analysis of Consumer Heterogeneity and Elasticities

Kulmer, Veronika - 2018

, available rebound estimates diverge widely. We illustrate the crucial role of model assumptions of household heterogeneity and … elasticities. A computable general equilibrium model of the Austrian economy incorporates multiple household groups with … heterogeneous preferences and analyzes how improving efficiency by 10% affects household fossil fuel consumption. In the base model …

The narrative of the energy efficiency gap

Houde, Sébastien; Wekhof, Tobias - 2021

For more than forty years analysts have pointed out that society might be too slow in adopting energy efficiency technologies, a phenomenon known as the Energy Efficiency Gap. There are persistent market barriers that impede these efforts. Eliciting these barriers and their heterogeneity is key...

Energy, Efficiency Gains and Economic Development : When Will Global Energy Demand Saturate?

Bogmans, Christian; Kiyasseh, Lama; Matsumoto, Akito; … - 2021

Not anytime soon. Using a novel dataset covering 127 countries and spanning two centuries, we find evidence for an energy Kuznets curve, with an initial decline of energy demand at low levels of per capita income followed by stages of acceleration and then saturation at high-income levels....
