The contradiction of the sustainable development goals: Growth versus ecology on a finite planet (2019, background): “…either Dittrich et al. (2012) or Schandl et al. (2016) predict, because the model incorporates the “rebound effect”: As resource efficiency improves, the cost of resources goes down, thus increasing demand and cancelling out some of the gains (UNEP, 2017b, p. 106, ff.; see Herring & Sorrell, 2009).”
The economy-wide rebound effect from improved energy efficiency in Swedish industries–A general equilibrium analysis (2015, background): “There exist a number of papers that explicitly discuss the rebound effect in general and overviews the existing literature (Greening et al., 2000; Berkhout et al., 2000; Binswanger, 2001; Sorrell, 2007; Sorrell and Dimitropoulos, 2008; Sorrell et al., 2009; Herring and Sorrell, 2009; Madlener and Al”
The environmental state and the glass ceiling of transformation (2020, background): “…system, however, efforts of decoupling underlie intractable rebound effects which have so far largely prevented an absolute decoupling of systemic parameters like carbon emissions and ecological footprints from production and consumption activities (Herring and Sorrell 2009, Fritz and Koch 2016).”
Consumer scapegoatism and limits to green consumerism (2014, background): “The paradoxical consequence of promoting GC demonstrated by the case of household appliances is the so-called rebound effect (Herring and Sorrell 2009): although washing machines and television sets have become more efficient, savings per unit have meant that people buy even more - the absolute…”
The effects of environmental innovations on CO2 emissions: Empirical evidence from Europe (2021, background): “Other studies underline the existence of a short-152 term rebound effect especially for environmental technologies related to energy efficiency and transportation (Font Vivanco et al., 2016; Herring and Sorrell, 2009; Sorrell, 2007).”
Is Green Growth Possible? (2019, unknown): “This happens because such gains reduce the cost of a good or service, freeing up income and increasing effective demand (see Herring and Sorrell 2009 for a review of the literature).”
Rebound Effects in German Residential Heating: Do Ownership and Income Matter? (2011, background): “The direct rebound effect for some energy service, such as space heating in residential households, results from the estimated technical energy savings minus the actual amount of energy saved, after introduction of measures to raise energy efficiency (Herring, 2009: 4).”
The macroeconomic rebound effect and the world economy (2009, background): “The literature on the rebound effect has developed in recent years as climate mitigation has moved up the policy agenda (Herring and Sorrell 2009; Herring 2004; Schipper and Grubb 2000; Vikström, 2004; Grepperud and Rasmussen 2004; International Energy Agency 2005; Sorrell and Dimitropoulos 2007;…”
Feel good, stay green: Positive affect promotes pro-environmental behaviors and mitigates compensatory “mental bookkeeping” effects (2018, unknown): “Negative spillover effects relate at the psychological level to rebound effects observed at the macroeconomic level, in which improved energy ef ﬁ ciency, for instance, can lead to enhanced energy consumption, reducing the size of potential energy savings (Herring & Sorrell, 2008).”
