Energy, Environment, and Transportation Policies

Energy, Environment, and Transportation Policies is a research topic within Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment. Science Explorer counts 37k research works in it since 1950. 33.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the rebound effect, which refers to the phenomenon where improvements in energy efficiency lead to an increase in consumption, offsetting some of the initial gains. The papers explore various aspects of the rebound effect, including its implications for energy efficiency policies, fuel taxes, household behavior, and environmental impact. They also analyze the elasticity of demand, fossil fuel subsidies, and the effects on the transportation sector and global energy demand.
