本研究估计了英国家庭各种能效改善和行为改变所带来的直接和间接反弹效应，并探讨了这些效应如何随总支出而变化。该方法基于对16类商品和服务的支出弹性和温室气体强度的估计，并考虑到能源效率措施本身的资本成本和隐含排放。研究发现，就温室气体而言，影响家庭能源使用的措施的回弹效应不大（0-32%），影响汽车燃料使用的措施的回弹效应较大（25-65%），减少食物浪费的措施的回弹效应非常大（66-106%）。此外，低收入家庭采取的措施与最大的反弹效应相关，直接排放在这些家庭的总反弹效应中所占比例更大。补贴或影响高税率能源商品的措施在减少总排放量方面可能效果较差。这些发现强调了在政策评估中考虑反弹效应的重要性，并加强了在整个经济范围内进行碳定价的理由。(C) 2014年作者。这是一篇基于CC by许可（http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/）的开放获取文章。
This study estimates the combined direct and indirect rebound effects from various types of energy efficiency improvement and behavioural change by UK households and explores how these effects vary with total expenditure. The methodology is based upon estimates of the expenditure elasticity and GHG intensity of 16 categories of goods and services, and allows for the capital cost and embodied emissions of the energy efficiency measures themselves. The study finds that rebound effects, in GHG terms, are modest (0-32%) for measures affecting domestic energy use, larger (25-65%) for measures affecting vehicle fuel use and very large (66-106%) for measures that reduce food waste. Furthermore, measures undertaken by low income households are associated with the largest rebound effects, with direct emissions forming a larger proportion of the total rebound effect for those households. Measures that are subsidised or affect highly taxed energy commodities may be less effective in reducing aggregate emissions. These findings highlight the importance of allowing for rebound effects within policy appraisals, as well as reinforcing the case for economy-wide carbon pricing. (C) 2014 The Authors.
