Economists have long noted that improving energy efficiency could lead to a rebound effect, reducing or possibly even eliminating the energy savings from the efficiency improvement. This paper develops a generalized model to highlight features of the theory of the microeconomic rebound effect that are particularly relevant to empirical economists. We demonstrate when common elasticity identitie...

Rebound effects occur when improvements in energy efficiency stimulate the direct and indirect demand for energy in production and consumption. This phenomenon may act to partially or wholly erode potential energy savings. We extend on previous sensitivity analyses of rebound effects by examining whether the structure of the production function itself has an impact on the presence and magnitude...

[1] Measurements of ice elevation from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) aboard the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite can be combined with time-variable geoid measurements from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission to learn about ongoing changes in polar ice mass and viscoelastic rebound of the lithosphere under the ice sheet. We estimate the ac...

Deep cerebellar nuclear (DCN) neurons exhibit distinct phenotypes of rebound discharge following current-evoked membrane hyperpolarizations that arise from specific Ca(V)3 T-type Ca(2+) channel isoforms and Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels. The probability of evoking rebound bursts following a brief train of GABAergic inhibitory synaptic input from cerebellar Purkinje cells was recently questione...
