“…From the perspective of empirical research, an increasing number of scholars have carried out empirical calculations of the rebound effect of total energy consumption in different countries and industries, especially over the past decade (Berkhout, Muskens, & Velthuijsen, 2000;Lin & Xie, 2015;Liu, Du, & Li, 2019;Liu & Lin, 2016;Saunders, 2008Saunders, , 2013Semboja, 1994;Small & Van Dender, 2007;Sorrell & Dimitropoulos, 2007). Although some scholars studied the rebound effect of fossil energy consumption (Hong, Liang, & Di, 2013), few studies paid attention to the rebound effect of nonfossil energy consumption and made further comparisons of fossil and nonfossil energies.…”

Although the rebound effect caused by technological progress has been widely accepted, few studies have estimated and compared the rebound effects of fossil and nonfossil energy separately, because fossil and nonfossil energy consumption have different effects on sustainable development. We use the data envelopment analysis–Malmquist index, logarithmic mean Divisia index, and Jacobian matrix methods to estimate and compare the rebound effects of China's fossil and nonfossil energy during 2006–2014. Empirical results show that nonfossil energy had a higher rebound effect than fossil energy and that technological progress was helpful in decreasing the proportion of fossil energy consumption. Furthermore, we found that technological progress contributed to increases in the relative price of fossil energy, causing nonfossil energy to be more favored. Simultaneously, nonfossil energy produced a substitution effect on fossil energy over the long term. On the basis of the empirical analysis, we also present some environmental policy implications.

“…This means that policies, especially a reasonable control on the energy consumption adjustment, should be taken as supplementary to technical change. The related research demonstrates that it is low energy pricing that leads to the high-energy consumption of China [30][31][32]. The lower energy prices thanks to government intervention cannot truly reflect the supply-demand relation of the energy market and the external environment brought by energy use.…”

Abstract:As the largest energy consumer and carbon emitter, China has made substantial efforts to improve energy efficiency to save energy, while the energy rebound effect mitigates its effectiveness. This paper is based on the logical relationship among capital input, technical change, economic growth, and energy consumption, adapting an alternative estimation model to estimate the energy rebound effect for the construction industry in China. Empirical results reveal that the average energy rebound effect for the construction industry in China was about 59.5% during the period of 1990-2014. It is indicated that the energy rebound effect does exist in China's construction industry and it presents a fluctuating declining trend. This indicates that approximately half of the potential energy saving by technical change is achieved. It could be concluded that proper energy pricing reforms and energy taxes should be implemented to promote sustainable development in the construction industry for China's government.

“…Some researchers have tried to work out a better energy pricing mechanism to distribute household energy in a more optimal manner, and to contribute to the improvement of household energy distribution. Hong et al [15] employed a co-thinking approach to exploring the feasibility of an energy-subsidy reform, and to mitigate the rebound effect 6 in China. Lin and Jiang [16] estimated China's energy subsidies as CNY 7 356.73 billion in 2007 and suggested that removing energy subsidies will cause a significant fall in energy demand and emissions.…”
