Consumer End-Use Energy Efficiency and Rebound Effects (2014, neutral): “(93) is exploring some of these issues.”
How Much Energy Do Building Energy Codes Save? Evidence from California Houses (2016, neutral): “And in theory, when building codes reduce heating and air-conditioning costs, people may be inclined to use those systems more —the so-called " rebound " effect (Gillingham et al., 2014).”
Household time use, carbon footprints, and urban form: a review of the potential contributions of everyday living to the 1.5 °C climate target (2018, background): “A commonly cited example is that the emission reductions due to the use of more efficient cars, which require less fuel and therefore cause lower costs, may be partially compensated by increased driving [62,92 ,93,95].”
From Cradle to Junkyard: Assessing the Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Benefits of Electric Vehicles (2015, background): “4, consistent with the range of elasticities identified in the literature by Gillingham et al. [2014]. We find these alternative assumptions have the expected effect on the quantitative output of the simulation; EVs, with lower marginal costs of operation tend to increase emissions more than ICEs wh”
Assessing the Effectiveness of Energy Efficiency Measures in the Residential Sector Gas Consumption Through Dynamic Treatment Effects: Evidence from England and Wales (2022, background): “The sensitivity of rebound effects to income or consumption groups has been widely studied in the literature (Belaïd et al., 2020; Gillingham et al., 2016; Kulmer and Seebauer, 2019; McCoy and Kotsch, 2021; among others).”
The Microeconomic Theory of the Rebound Effect and Its Welfare Implications (2015, result): “The idea that there may be such countervailing effects is described in Thomas and Azevedo (2013b) and is consistent with discussions in Gillingham et al. (2014) and Borenstein (2015).”
Energy efficiency and economy-wide rebound effects: A review of the evidence and its implications (2021, background): “The latter is much harder to achieve through econometric analysis, owing to the need to control for multiple conflicting variables [59].”
