General Equilibrium Rebound from Improved Energy Efficiency

نویسنده

  • Derek Lemoine
چکیده

Energy efficiency improvements “rebound” when economic responses undercut their direct energy savings. I develop an analytic general equilibrium framework that allows improvements in energy efficiency to affect output prices and factor prices. I show that general equilibrium channels typically amplify rebound and make it more likely that improvements in efficiency end up increasing total energy use. General equilibrium channels are likely to be especially significant when efficiency improvements occur in sectors with a large value share of energy.

The effect of increasing electricity price on rebound effect in Iran by computable general equilibrium

The main goal of policies to increase the energy efficiency is reducing energy consumption, but this goal is limited by the rebound effect. In the literature of energy economics, there are two types of non-price and market tools to reduce rebound effects. Among the market tools, energy taxation is a favored approach. In the Iranian economy, where the prices of energy carriers, including electri...

Recovery of oil products in Iran by substitution and production effects: A two-stage approach in the form of a general equivalence model

In the energy economics literature, one of the most important approaches to managing energy demand is to improve energy efficiency, which is associated with a concept called a rebound effect. The rebound effect causes the energy saving (due to improved efficiency) to be less than expected. Considering the importance of using oil products in the Iranian economy, the present paper tries to track ...

General Equilibrium Rebound from Energy Efficiency Policies ∗

I study the general equilibrium implications of large-scale policies to improve energy efficiency, which are being implemented around the world to mitigate climate change. Energy efficiency policies “rebound” when economic responses undercut their direct energy savings. I develop an analytic general equilibrium framework that allows improvements in energy efficiency to affect output prices and ...

بررسی آثار اقتصادی بکارگیری سیاست‌های غیرقیمتی در مصرف حامل‌های انرژی

Price policies are one of the most permissive policies in Iranian economic for controlling energy carrier's consumption. In addition, the non-price policies such as energy efficiency improvement are effective for controlling energy carrier's consumption. This paper assesses the economic impacts of energy efficiency improvement (in gasoline, gasoil and electric) as a non-price policy. For the pu...
