Estimating long-term and short-term CO2 rebound effects of China’s urban residential sector: evidence from a dynamic econometric approach

Sažetak
This study quantifies China’s urban residential CO2 rebound owing
to improvements in energy efficiency. We use a dynamic econometric
model (error corrected linear approximated almost ideal
demand system, ECM-LA-AIDS) to examine the relationship
between energy-efficiency promotion, energy consumption behaviour,
and the CO2 rebound effect. An improvement in energy efficiency
lowers the energy price, resulting in unbalanced short- and
long-term energy consumption behaviours. Inconsistent short- and
long-term energy-efficiency policies may lead to greater rebound
effects. Therefore, this study estimates the residential energyrelated
CO2 (ECR-CO2) rebound effects considering both short- and
long-term consumption patterns to provide targeted policies for
controlling residential ECR-CO2. The results indicate that the shortand
long-term urban residential ECR-CO2 effects differ across
regions and provinces. Additionally, the direct rebound effect contributes
more to the total ECR-CO2 rebound effect than the indirect
rebound effect. Finally, at the national level, the urban
residential ECR-CO2 rebound effects exhibit a U-shaped divergence,
indicating that, among the 31 Chinese provinces considered, the
ECR-CO2 rebound effect first converges and then diverges, owing
to differences in the levels of technological progress
