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

We estimate the price elasticity of water demand with household-level data, structurally modeling the piecewise … water utility service areas …

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 …
