Abstract
The Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for developing regulations to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) from light?duty vehicles in the U.S. The regulatory option of encouraging the adoption of advanced technologies for improving vehicle efficiency can result in significant fuel savings and GHG emission benefits. At the same time, it is possible that some of these benefits might be offset by additional driving that is encouraged by the reduced costs of operating more efficient vehicles. This so called “rebound effect�, the increased driving that results from an improvement in the energy efficiency of a vehicle, must be determined in order to reliably estimate the overall benefits of GHG regulations for light?duty vehicles.
