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 …

Moreover, informing consumers about the drought severity increases the WTP for …In the context of recent California drought years, we investigate empirically whether consumers are willing to pay for … more efficient water usage in the production of four California agricultural products. We implement an internet survey …

While the prevailing theory of disruptive innovation suggests that this will lead to (exclusively …) competitive commercialization and the eventual replacement of incumbents, we consider a dynamic strategy involving product market … entry before switching to a cooperative commercialization strategy.

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 …

Water use and electricity use, which generate negative environmental externalities, are susceptible to a second … externality problem: with household-level billing, each person enjoys private benefits of consumption but shares the cost with … other household members. If individual usage is imperfectly observed (as is typical for water and electricity) and family …
