Electrode self-energy effects in a tunnel junction have been calculated for a simple model without recourse to the transfer-Hamiltonian formalism. The results are in agreement with earlier suggestions that the electron, in the presence of many-body effects in an electrode, tunnels with the total energy ε and not the bare energy ξₖ=²k²2m*-εF.
