The Rebound Effect in Energy-Intensive Industries:A Factor Demand Model with Asymmetric Price Response

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to estimate industry-specific direct rebound effects and to relate these effects to industry energy efficiency programs. The rebound effect represents economic behavior that will offset energy savings from energy efficiency improvements. The paper focuses on four energy intense sectors in Sweden; pulp and paper, iron and steel, chemical, and mining, during 2001-2012. We apply a factor demand model that allows for asymmetric energy price responses, i.e. that firms respond differentl… Show more

“…During this period, the total spillovers fluctuated between 60% and 70%, with cross-market spillovers showing a high and stable situation. Realising that clean energy is key to mitigating the problem of global climate change, many countries are combining economic policies with incentive measures and supporting the development of clean energy through taxation and subsidies (Abdmouleh et al, 2015;Asl et al, 2021;Dahlqvist et al, 2021). As predicted by the market supply and demand theory, the energy and metal markets show an increased connectedness.…”

“…The estimated size of rebound effects is influenced by various factors, including the model parameters used, the types of responses considered, and the time frame under examination (Chakravarty et al, 2013). There are several reasonable explanations for these variations in rebound effect estimates (Dahlqvist et al, 2021). One key factor is that studies employ diverse methods and operate on distinct underlying assumptions.…”

“…The data includes firm-specific capital gross investments, which enabled us to create a firm-specific capital stock by applying the perpetual inventory method (Berndt 1991). 9 Specifically, we compute the capital stock at time t as K it = I it + (1 − θ)K it−1 where K it denotes capital at time t, I it denotes gross investments in inventories and machinery, and θ is the depreciation rate which we, following Dahlqvist et al (2021), assume to be 0.087. Statistics Sweden also provided data on an investment good price index and a long-term interest rate, both at the national level, together with a sector-specific Producer Price Index (the output price), which are used to calculate the user cost of capital as follows: p K = p I /p Y (r + δ) where p I and p Y denote the investment good price index and the output price (sectorspecific Producer Price Index), respectively, r denotes the long-term market capital interest rate and θ = 0.087 the depreciation rate as before.…”
