The Rebound Effect: Empirical Evidence from Turkey

Özet

Öz Energy and energy savings are still protecting its importancefor both developed and developing countries.Energy saving is a method to reduce energy consumptionin countries. Especially countries which have dependencyon energy recently insist on energy efficiency.The aim of this study is to examine the theoretical andempirical literature on the rebound effect systematicallyand to test the impact of energy efficiency developmentsin Turkey on energy consumption empirically. Inthis study, Turkey’s 1964-2009 annual time series datahas been tested using ARDL (Auto-Regressive DistributedLag) model. As a result of the empirical analysis inTurkey, it is concluded that, Rebound Effect which areresults of energy efficiency, is not too significant size.
