This paper formulates and estimates a household-level, billing-cycle water demand model under increasing block prices … household demographics in the utility's service territory to recover the impact of these factors on water demand. An index of … models are used to compute the distribution of utility-level water demand and revenues for any possible price schedule …

We estimate the price elasticity of water demand with household-level data, structurally modeling the piecewise … elasticity of demand under increasing-block prices and compare conditional and unconditional elasticities analytically and … water utility service areas …

demand by residential households for water. It uses the changes in distributions of water using the census block group levels …This paper exploits the seasonal and annual changes in marginal prices for water to estimate the price elasticity of … in response to changes in marginal prices of water for matched months across years. This strategy reduces the interaction …

Instrumental variables (IV) estimation of a demand equation using time series data is shown to produce a weighted … average derivative of heterogeneous potential demand functions. This result adapts recent work on the causal interpretation of … market in New York City to estimate an average elasticity of wholesale demand for fresh fish. The weighting function …

greatest effect on utility. Deviations of consumption from the full-information benchmark are then largest at high frequencies …, so consumption responds strongly to predictable changes in income in the short-run but is closer to a random walk in the …
