The goal of energy-saving and emission reduction in the Twelfth Five Year Plan Period is 16% decrease in energy consumption per unit of GDP.To realize this goal,Chinese government has adopted some policies focused on the improvement of energy efficiency.However,improvement of energy efficiency may produce potential rebound effect,and increase energy consumption,leading to policy failure in energy-saving and emission reduction.Based on literature review,this paper analyzes types and mechanism of rebound effect,summarizes empirical results of rebound effect measurement,and then identifies main deficiencies in current empirical research.The paper proposes a research approach from the perspective of public policy making,and arguing that a better understanding of rebound effect mechanism should include studies on the economic behaviors of the actors,price of substitute goods,energy subsidies and renewable energy policy.The paper ends with proposals for future research on the topic.
