Reducing energy demand: A review of issues, challenges and approaches (2015, unknown): “energy savings from improved energy efficiency [36–39].”
The Rebound Effect and Energy Efficiency Policy (2016, unknown): “…relied on historical data to provide evidence of a combined macroeconomic and microeconomic rebound effect leading to backfire (e.g., Tsao et al. 2010; Saunders 2013) have not been published in economics journals, where the standard for empirically identifying a causal effect tends to be higher.”
Energy efficiency and economy-wide rebound effects: A review of the evidence and its implications (2021, background): “7 Energy-augmenting technical change (τ) is one way of simulating improved energy efficiency, but this is not directly observed and hence is difficult to measure empirically [54].”
A new approach to measuring the rebound effect associated to energy efficiency improvements: An application to the US residential energy demand (2015, background): “In fact, Saunders (2013) argues that the energy employed to produce goods and services in the US, represents two-thirds of total energy consumption and hence efficiency gains on this side affect the majority of energy actually consumed.”
