Current economic models that aim to understand how energy use and efficiency interact within a regional economy are geared towards a broad scale and do not account well for an unintended consequence that crops up when energy efficiency is in play, known as the \u0022rebound effect.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis project will develop a model that introduces adjustments to comprehensively evaluate the economic impact of the rebound effect, as well as tailoring the model to a more regional scale.
