Two studies investigated a potential cognitive mediator for stereotype threat, a phenomenon whereby the mere threat of confirming a negative stereotype results in a performance deficit. It was hypothesized that people attempt to suppress stereotypes in memory during threatening situations, consuming cognitive resources, but that the suppression is released after the threatening situation has en...

Rebound eff ects measure the behaviorally induced off set in the reduction of energy consumption following effi ciency improvements. Using both panel estimation and quantile-regression methods on household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2009, this study investigates the heterogeneity of the rebound eff ect in private transport. With the average rebound eff ect being in ...

The extension of the waste input-output (WIO) model to analyze households’ sustainable consumption patterns is presented in this article. We estimate direct and indirect emission loads induced by household consumption by the WIO model. The WIO model is much more suitable for the analysis of sustainable consumption than the conventional input-output model because it can deal with the disposal st...

Rebound effects have been historically studied through narrow framings which may overlook the complexity of sustainability challenges, sometimes leading to badly informed conclusions and policy recommendations. Here we present a critical literature review rebound in context science order (1) map existing research goes beyond mainstream approaches, (2) unveil classify current knowledge gaps rela...

BACKGROUND The adiposity rebound is the second rise in body mass index that occurs between 3 and 7 years. An early age at adiposity rebound is known to be a risk factor for later obesity. The aim here is to clarify the connection between the age at rebound and the corresponding pattern of body mass index change, in centile terms, so as to better understand its ability to predict later fatness. ...

Rebound effects have been discussed in various disciplines. In the information and communication technology sector, this topic is still insufficiently studied. Basically, a rebound effect is a feedback mechanism, as a result of which savings from efficiency improvements are not or only partially realized. Due to the potential of cloud computing for efficiency improvements, not only in terms of ...

We examine the design of regulatory policy to induce electric utilities to deliver the surplus-maximizing level of energy efficiency services, e∗. The rebound effect (whereby increased energy efficiency stimulates the demand for energy) typically renders revenue decoupling insufficient in this regard. The additional financial incentive required to induce e∗ is shown to vary with such factors as...
