Domain-specific¶
- Rebound Emissions
- The shortfall lives in the volume term, not in a defective technology. Not always backfire. Rebound is a graded spectrum, not a guaranteed reversal: partial rebound (a fraction of the saving lost) is the common case, 100% (no net change) is the threshold, and backfire above 100% — the strong Jevons form — is real but comparatively rare
This sourceReview of Environmental Economics and Policy, 2016. A survey of the rebound literature concluding that the existing research provides little support for the so-called backfire hypothesis, while the magnitude of the rebound effect is often extraordinarily difficult to estimate.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
