能源效率的提高改变了能源服务的相对价格，从而改变了这些服务的消费。这种所谓的直接反弹效应改变了提高效率可能实现的节能。本文建立了一个理论模型，该模型表明直接反弹效应的标志取决于能源服务的类型。2009年住宅能源消费调查数据的经验证据显示，能源之星星星洗碗机的直接反弹效应为负，能源之星星星空调的直接反弹效应为正。负反弹效应放大了能源节约，而正反弹效应抵消了使用更高效技术所带来的能源节约。
Improvements in energy efficiency change the relative prices of energy services and thus the consumption of those services. This so-called direct rebound effect changes the energy savings that improved efficiency might otherwise achieve. This paper develops a theoretical model that shows the sign of the direct rebound effect depends on the type of energy service. Empirical evidence from the 2009 Residential Energy Consumption Survey data shows a negative direct rebound effect for Energy Star dishwashers and a potentially positive direct rebound effect for Energy Star air conditioners. Negative rebound effects amplify energy savings, while positive rebound effects offset energy savings from using more efficient technologies.
