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 …

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 …

This is the first paper to investigate the determinants of the demand for medical care in the People's Republic of … care spending, and price. A two-part model and a discrete factor model are used in the estimation. Household … characteristics and work conditions impact the demand for medical care. Income elasticity is around 0.3, indicating medical care is a …
