The Influential Mechanism of Rebound Effect within Chinese Energy Efficiency

This paper focuses on Chinese energy efficiency and all the other relative factors which will cause the change of energy usage based on the fact that Chinese government is quite different with the other countries´ governments in energy policies. The causal-loop diagram which systematic dynamic method provided gives us a tool to describe those effects more specifically and explain how the rebound effect of energy efficiency occur. Based on that, we clarify the theoretical conditions under which such effects would occur and explores their likely significance both in the fields of macroeconomics and microeconomics. Then, we establish another causal-loop diagram to describe all the effect routes that occur between energy efficiency and government, enterprises, and residents, and give out the influence mechanism of the rebound effect of energy efficiency.
