Essays on Moral-Psychological Rebound Effects and Feedback Interventions for Sustainable Consumer Behavior
This dissertation examines moral-psychological rebound effects and feedback interventions in the context of climate-friendly consumer behavior. While measures such as energy efficiency improvements, sufficiency-oriented consumption, or carbon offsetting aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, their …

An investigation of carbon footprint reductions achievable in Cape Town social housing considering rebound effects
… These conclusions, however, do not take the rebound effect into account, where money saved from spending less on electricity or transport, is spent eventually, either on more electricity and transport, or on other goods and services with an associated carbon footprint.

Effective implementation of energy efficiency in the South African residential sector
… responses often tend to offset the beneficial effects of such initiatives. Such behavioural changes are called the rebound effects. Energy modelling using LEAP was carried out for the South African residential electricity sector. The results from the LEAP modelling suggest that reducing …

The Net Climate Impact of AI: Balancing Current Costs with Future Climate Benefits
… likely to generate both direct and indirect rebound effects that could undermine the emissions reductions and reduce the climate benefits of AI. The research concludes with policy and industry recommendations that propose technological pathways that could maximize AI's positive impact while …

Mass Transfer Characteristics of Large Oscillating Drops
… of up to 88% was observed due to collision-rebound effects with drop pairs. A new correlation was developed to account for the effect of drop interactions. <formula> Agreement within 9% was obtained between experimental overall mass transfer coefficients and those predicted from theory where …

Behavioral responses and policy evaluation: Revisiting water and fuel policies
… between corn and soybeans, the long-term effects of the policies can also be rapidly achieved. Though the time cost does not constitute a major concern in my research area, the time dimension may be important in research areas in which there are different crops that may not be easily …

Three essays on energy economics: Policy options and evaluation
… the magnitude and the direction of each policy's effects on various economic and environmental outcomes. It consists of three chapters with studies in the context of both developed and developing countries. Rebates that reward economic agents if they meet a minimum conservation threshold are a …

Essays in applied economic theory
… play a role. The second chapter studies the rebound effect, or the increased use of energy services following an increase in the efficiency of that service. This effect is widely studied in the literature, but it usually only considered in a single-service environment. Such a framework …

Time for mitigation: linking energy demand to wellbeing
… emissions necessary to mitigate the worst effects of climate change will require significant reductions in energy demand. However, there are concerns that energy demand reductions involving lifestyle and behavioural changes might negatively impact peoples’ wellbeing. The work in this thesis …

Direction and intensity of Earth's magnetic field at the Permo-Triassic boundary
… VGPs during the transition. In contrast to such "rebound" effects, the excursion-related VGPs of this record are still confined to the latitudinal band defined by the transition, but "overshoot" normal polarity. This geometrical constraint suggests that non-dipole components similar to those …
