Energy, Environment, and Transportation Policies

This cluster of papers focuses on the rebound effect, which refers to the phenomenon where improvements in energy efficiency lead to an increase in consumption, offsetting some of the initial gains. The papers explore various aspects of the rebound effect, including its implications for energy efficiency policies, fuel taxes, household behavior, and environmental impact. They also analyze the elasticity of demand, fossil fuel subsidies, and the effects on the transportation sector and global energy demand.
