We develop a general equilibrium growth model with capital and energy use to examine the hypothesis that economy …-wide energy use increases with energy efficiency. To obtain energy use that would have occurred in the absence of energy … efficiency changes, chosen energy efficiency is induced by technological change. Viewing technological change in form of changes …

This study develops a scenario-based model to assess the current and future trends in energy demand in Africa and … associated greenhouse gas emissions. Future energy demand is forecast on the basis of socio-economic variables such as gross … domestic product, income per capita, population, and urbanization. The Long-range Energy Alternative Planning model is applied …

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 energy-efficient vintages. In the long-run firms could also achieve …

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 …

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 up. There is only limited empirical research quantifying the economy …

This paper explores the rebound effect of different energy types in China based on a static computable general … equilibrium model. A one-off 5% energy efficiency improvement of using five different types of energy is imposed, respectively, in …-wide level by each type of energy. The results show that improving energy efficiency of using electricity has the largest …

CO2 emissions are commonly perceived to rise and fall with aggregate output. Yet many factors, including energy …-efficiency improvements, emissions coefficient variations and shifts to cleaner energy, can break the positive emissions-output relationship … impacts on macroeconomic and environmental indicators, we interpret these shocks as changes in the energy efficiency of …

Changes in energy consumption behaviour of households are recognised as a main contributor to reduced energy demand in … presence of demand rigidities and consumption habits. Our findings demonstrate that in the context of energy efficiency … improvements in households, taking into account rebound effects is vital, as rebound effects can drastically reduce expected energy …

Existing studies have focused on the negative impact of inefficient resource allocation on energy performance in China … Analysis, is employed to measure the energy efficiency, and price index method derived from Iceberg Transport Cost model is … impact of market segmentation on China's energy efficiency. The results show that although energy efficiency in the eastern …

deliberate choices in energy service consumption, which leads to biased consumption decisions and thus to inefficient energy use …
