We find that households living in California homes built in the 1960s and 1970s had high electricity consumption in … 2000 relative to houses of more recent vintages because the price of electricity at the time of home construction was low …. Homes built in the early 1990s had lower electricity consumption than homes of earlier vintages because the price of …

Recent efforts to restructure and partially deregulate electricity markets have renewed interest in understanding how … household electricity demand that addresses these difficulties. We estimate the model using data for a representative sample of … California households, and summarize how electricity demand elasticities vary in that state. We then use the model to analyze the …
