Global Concern

Energy issues are the focus of global concern, and estimations of the energy rebound effect are very important for energy policy. Existing research has proved the existence of the energy rebound effect. This paper, based on the estimation of China’s capital stock in 1952, establishes three elements of the neoclassical production function to calculate the contribution rate of technological progress on economic growth. It then calculates China’s energy rebound effect over the past 20 years from the perspective of technological progress. The research results show that though China’s energy intensity has been declining from 1994 to 2017, the energy rebound effect each year is obviously different, with an average level of 54.4%. Technological progress leads to the improvement of energy efficiency, which reduces energy consumption, but the rebound effect makes energy savings less effective than expected. This paper proved the Granger causality between energy structure adjustment and the rebound effect. And the increase of coal consumption will enhance the rebound effect. So, upgrading the structure of energy consumption is considered helpful to reduce the energy rebound effect, which can promote energy conservation and emission reduction.

Direct Rebound Effect

t is generally recognized that technological progress will help individual energy product or service to improve energy efficiency. And to the whole of energy economic efficiency, the role of technological progress may not always promote the reduction of energy consumption. As rebound effect exists, it may further increase the demand for energy. With the continuous advancement of technology, increasing energy efficiency and rapid growth in energy consumption in our country, the need to further enhance the in-depth study on relationship between the rebound effect and energy efficiency. Currently, study abroad is more abundant in this area and our countrys study has lagged behind in this area. Therefore, the thesis, on the basis of international research, mainly from three aspects which are relationship between direct rebound effect and energy efficiency, indirect rebound effect and energy efficiency, the economy-wide rebound effect and energy efficiency, studies on the models of relationship between the rebound effect and energy efficiency in China. Through what we have mentioned above, we expect to offer useful references.

On the basis of research in foreign countries on the relationship among technological progress, rebound effect and energy efficiency, the paper mainly from the following two aspects to study relationship among technological progress, rebound effect and energy efficiency in China. First of all, it studies mechanism of rebound effect on the basis of technological progress. It is mainly from the direct rebound effect, indirect rebound effect and economy-wide rebound effect of energy efficiency for the analysis of the mechanism of action. Secondly, it studies both theoretical research and empirical analysis on rebound effect based on technological progress relationship with energy efficiency. Based on the actual situation in China, it researches "Jevons paradox" led to the relationship between rebound effect and energy efficiency both theory analysis and empirical test. Through the above study, we expect to offer useful references for China’s research on the relationship among technological progress, rebound effect and energy efficiency.

Improve Energy Efficiency

As the largest energy consumer and carbon emitter, China has made substantial efforts to improve energy efficiency for decrease energy consumption, while the energy rebound effect determines its effectiveness. The embodied energy consumption of construction projects accounted for nearly one-sixth of the total economy's energy consumption in China. This paper is based on the logical relationship among capital input, technological progress, economic growth, and energy consumption, adapting an alternative estimation model to estimate the energy rebound effect for the construction industry in China for the first time. Empirical results in our paper reveal that the energy rebound effect for the construction industry in China is about 59.5% for the period of 1990–2014. The results indicate that the energy rebound effect does exist in China’s construction industry and it presented a fluctuating declining trend. This implies that half of the energy savings by technological progress is achieved. In addition, China’s government should implement proper energy pricing reforms and energy taxes to promote the sustainable development of China’s construction industry.
