Modelling the Economy-wide Rebound Effectroduction activities in a developed economy? Most studies focus on the direct rebound effects, often in the context of the demand for consumer services (Greening et al., 2000; Sorrell, 2007). This restricts the analysis solely to the energy required to provide the consumer services to which the effi

In this chapter, we attempt to bridge the gap between an engineering understanding of what these technology gains must look like in concrete terms and what they must look

Hence the rebound is never zero. But this chapter is not going to discuss the economic reasons for investment by consumers, but instead will focus on
