Abstract

Measuring the rebound effect (RE) of energy use and pollutant emissions is fundamental to characterizing the effects of technological progress on energy conservation and emissions reduction. This paper presents a total-factor RE model that combines the Fixed effects (FE) model, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), and Luenberger Productivity Indicator (LPI). The proposed model takes into account two types of disposability for variable-specific decomposition for LPI. The model includes two general indices, static inefficiency performance and dynamic inefficiency performance, which can be used to assess performance in the industrial sector and measure technological change and RE. The results show that switching from natural to managerial disposability improves energy RE by 12% but reduce RE of NOx and SO2 emissions by 22% and 24%, respectively. These findings suggest that cleaner energy expansion can promote energy RE, while reducing environmental RE.

能源使用和污染物排放的回弹效应:技术变革的作用

测量能源使用和污染物排放的回弹效应(RE)是表征技术进步对节能减排影响的基础。本文将固定效应(FE)模型、数据包络分析(DEA)和Luenberger生产率指标(LPI)相结合，提出了一个全因子生产率模型。该模型考虑了两种类型的可处置性，用于LPI的变量特定分解。该模型包括静态无效率绩效和动态无效率绩效两个一般指标，可用于评估工业部门的绩效，并衡量技术变革和可再生能源。结果表明，从自然可处置性转向管理可处置性，能源可再生能源提高了12%，但氮氧化物和二氧化硫排放的可再生能源分别降低了22%和24%。这些发现表明，清洁能源扩张可以促进能源可再生能源，同时降低环境可再生能源。

期刊介绍： Environmental Impact Assessment Review is an interdisciplinary journal that serves a global audience of practitioners, policymakers, and academics involved in assessing the environmental impact of policies, projects, processes, and products. The journal focuses on innovative theory and practice in environmental impact assessment (EIA). Papers are expected to present innovative ideas, be topical, and coherent. The journal emphasizes concepts, methods, techniques, approaches, and systems related to EIA theory and practice.
