Increasing a system efficiency is often seen as a cost-effective way to reduce intensive use of natural resources. Paradoxically, technical improvements do not necessarily imply resource savings. Economic literature has observed adjustments in producers and consumers behavior after such improvements, which often results in increased demand for the resource, an opposite effect to that intended by the policy. The increase in demand following an improvement in the technical efficiency of a resource conversion device, is know as the rebound effect. This thesis is structured in three chapters combining both theoretical and empirical methods to address different aspects of the rebound effect in energy and water use. The first chapter presents an ...
