Jevons’ Paradox revisited: The evidence for backfire from improved energy efficiency (2009, methodology): “…results rest on the erroneous assumption that the rate and direction of technical change is fixed, and more sophisticated models suggest that the magnitude and sign of technical change varies between sectors and types of capital as well as over time (Sue Wing, 2008; Sue Wing and Eckaus, 2007).”
Energy Efficiency: Economics and Policy (2010, background): “For example, Woods (2008), in his study of ECE measures applied to US residential customers, found that there is very little potential for thermostat adjustments, given that this measure is already very popular.”
The role of markets and policies in delivering innovation for climate change mitigation (2010, background): “But a study of a wider set of industries suggests that while induced innovation does have an energy-saving effect, it is the smallest of four factors (Sue Wing, 2008).”
Modeling endogenous technological change for climate policy analysis (2008, background): “Smulders and de Nooij (2003) and van Zon and Yetkiner (2003) both build on the endogenous growth literature that includes a continuum of intermediate goods (e.”
The impact of green innovation on energy intensity: An empirical analysis for 14 industrial sectors in OECD countries (2018, background): “Sue Wing (2008), for example, finds that within-sector gains in energy intensity in the U.S. occur through price-induced substitution of variable inputs, adjustments in quasi-fixed inputs, and, to a limited extent, through price-induced innovation.”
Structural Change and Convergence of Energy Intensity across OECD Countries, 1970-2005 (2012, unknown): “2 The first part of our analysis is closely related to numerous empirical studies documenting trends in energy use, energy intensity and emission intensity (see, for example, Berndt 1978, Neelis et al. 2007, Nilsson 1993, Sue Wing 2008, Schipper et al. 2001, Worell 2004).”
Does energy price affect energy efficiency? Cross-country panel evidence (2018, background): “…econometrically at country level (or for limited groups of countries) by including energy prices in the explanatory variables (Gamtessa and Olani 2016; Adom 2015; Mulder and De Groot 2012; Wu 2012; Huntington 2010; Wing 2008; Hang and Tu 2007; Fisher-Vanden et al. 2004; Sanstad et al. 2006).”
