Study on the Models of Relationship between the Rebound Effect and Energy Efficiency

Abstract:

t is generally recognized that technological progress will help individual energy product or service to improve energy efficiency. And to the whole of energy economic efficiency, the role of technological progress may not always promote the reduction of energy consumption. As rebound effect exists, it may further increase the demand for energy. With the continuous advancement of technology, increasing energy efficiency and rapid growth in energy consumption in our country, the need to further enhance the in-depth study on relationship between the rebound effect and energy efficiency. Currently, study abroad is more abundant in this area and our countrys study has lagged behind in this area. Therefore, the thesis, on the basis of international research, mainly from three aspects which are relationship between direct rebound effect and energy efficiency, indirect rebound effect and energy efficiency, the economy-wide rebound effect and energy efficiency, studies on the models of relationship between the rebound effect and energy efficiency in China. Through what we have mentioned above, we expect to offer useful references.
