An empirical study on the rebound effect considering capital costs (2008, background): “…have 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.,…”
Positive and negative spillover of pro-environmental behavior: An integrative review and theoretical framework (2014, background): “preponderance of evidence suggests that rebound effects, in most cases measured as direct rebound, displace only a small to moderate fraction of technologically-achieved savings (Berkhout et al., 2000; Gillingham et al., 2013; Greening et al., 2000).”
The foundations of the environmental rebound effect and its contribution towards a general framework (2016, background): “Thus, the neoclassical models of consumer behaviour that 308 predominate microeconomic analysis of energy rebound (Berkhout et al., 2000) would not be able to 309”
A new approach to measuring the rebound effect associated to energy efficiency improvements: An application to the US residential energy demand (2015, methodology): “This approach has been advocated by Khazzoom (1980), Greene et al. (1999a), Berkhout et al. (2000) and Binswanger (2001) and, unlike the first approach, it provides a way to estimate the magnitude of the rebound effect even when the available data provides little or no variation in energy…”
The carbon footprint of UK households 1990–2004: A socio-economically disaggregated, quasi-multi-regional input–output model (2009, background): “This phenomenon is known as the rebound effect (Berkhout et al. 2000; Hertwich 2005; Sorrell and Dimitropoulos 2008) and is one of the reasons why it is imperative to take account of consumption of the entire range of goods and services available for purchase in carbon reduction strategies.”
What if consumers decided to all 'go green'? Environmental rebound effects from consumption decisions (2013, positive): “Rebound eﬀects are generally expressed as the amount of energy, resources or externality, generated by oﬀsetting consumption, as a percentage of potential reductions where not oﬀsetting consumption occurs (Berkhout et al., 2000).”
Circular Economy: Questions for Responsible Minerals, Additive Manufacturing and Recycling of Metals (2014, background): “However, reducing the total level of consumption is not a feature of the schemes, nor is the potential for the rebound effect addressed (see [35] for a description of the rebound effect).”
Bridging sustainable business model innovation and user-driven innovation: A process for sustainable value proposition design (2017, background): “…appropriate empirical context because energy consumption in the building sector is a persistent sustainability challenge that would benefit from more innovative solutions (Heck & Tai, 2013) and a greater focus on buildings’ occupiers and their behaviours (Berkhout et al., 2000; Hens et al., 2010).”
Beyond the Bounded Instrumentality in Current Corporate Sustainability Research: Toward an Inclusive Notion of Profitability (2011, background): “However, critics point to the rebound-effect: gains in eco-efficiency can be overcompensated by growth so that overall more environmental and/or social harm is caused ( Berkhout et al. 2000; Dyllick and Hockerts 2002).”
A review of intervention studies aimed at household energy conservation (2005, background): “Assuming that self-reported behaviors do reflect reality, it still does not become clear whether the intervention had any impact on actual energy use (e.g. a socalled rebound effect may have occurred, see Berkhout et al., 2000).”
Changing Behaviour: Successful Environmental Programmes in the Workplace (2015, background): “The reason is that factors elsewhere in the organis ation’s structure or operations may counterbalance an employee behaviour change and cause rebound effects (Berkhout et al., 2000).”
Circular Economy Rebound (2017, background): “There is a strong parallel to energy efficiency rebound (Berkhout et al. 2000; Hertwich 2005; Sorrell and Dimitropoulos 2008), so it is worth briefly reviewing some highlights from the energy efficiency literature.”
