A Time Use Perspective on the Materials Intensity of Consumption (2002, background): “The concept of rebound effect was initially introduced to describe the price elasticity of energy demand (Khazzoom, 1980; Binswanger, 2001).”
Working Papers in Trade and Development The Economy-wide Impact of Controlling Energy Consumption in Indonesia: An Analysis Using a Social Accounting Matrix Framework (2007, neutral): “Second, innovations improving the efficiency of energy use might end up using more energy (Khazzoom, 1980; Lovins, 1988; Brookes, 1990; Binswanger, 2001).”
Rebound effects of price differences (2008, background): “The rebound effect1 deals with the fact that improvements in efficiency often lead to cost reductions that provide the possibility to buy more of the improved product or other products or services ( Binswanger 2001, Hertwich 2005).”
Technological change in economic models of environmental policy: a survey (2002, neutral): “In contrast to bottom-up models, rebound effects (Binswanger 2001) linked to the introduction of a new technology - reduced energy prices stimulate consumption - are fully integrated.”
The rebound effect: an assessment of the evidence for economy-wide energy savings from improved energy efficiency (2007, background): “For example, the purchase of a more fuel-efficient car may reduce demand for public transport, but at the same time increase the demand for leisure activities that can only be accessed with a private car (Binswanger, 2001).”
Energy saving and energy efficiency concepts for policy making (2009, methodology): “Source: adapted from Binswanger (2001) and Sorrell et al.”
The rebound effect: Microeconomic definitions, limitations and extensions (2008, background): “Our final modification follows Becker (1965), Binswanger (2001) and other authors in considering the importance of time costs and time scarcity.”
ENERGY REBOUND AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: A REVIEW OF THE MAIN ISSUES AND RESEARCH NEEDS (2009, background): “[13]), most rebound assessments, however, remain silent about this time value of energy (work over time equals power), and only address work over energy.”
An empirical study on the rebound effect considering capital costs (2008, background): “…been conducted on the rebound effect; these have focused on theoretical and empirical aspects (Lovins, 1988; Henly et al., 1988; Greene, 1992; Berkhout et al., 2000; Reinhard and Peter, 2000; Roy, 2000; Binswanger, 2001; Bentzen, 2004; Sorrell and Dimitropoulos, in press; Brannlund et al., 2007).”
The foundations of the environmental rebound effect and its contribution towards a general framework (2016, background): “33 Jevon’s ideas were later embraced by energy economists during the 1980s and 1990s in the context 34 first of a looming energy crisis (1973 oil crisis and 1979 energy crisis) and then concerns over climate 35 change, where the rebound effect was provided with a robust theoretical and analytical fr”
