electricity demand in Australia to the time of the day and intra-day temperature. We show a superior model fit when using Daylight … that relates instantaneous electricity demand sensitivity to temperature as a function of the daily activity cycle. The … frequency electricity demand forecasting. The overall accuracy of the proposed GAM specification in predicting demand is …

This paper estimates the level of transient and persistent efficiency in the use of electricity in Swiss households … collected via a household survey is used to estimate an electricity demand frontier function. We further investigate whether … energy and investment literacy have an influence on the household electricity consumption. The results show significant …

This study assesses the accuracy of time-series econometric methods in forecasting electricity demand in developing … simple heuristic models, which assume that electricity demand grows at an exogenous rate or is proportional to real gross …

Despite the success of demand response programs in retail electricity markets in reducing average consumption, the …

We document substantial rigidity in household electricity demand in response to large price shocks. We partnered with … an electricity retailer to run a field experiment in which randomly-selected households received discounts of up to 50 …% on their total electricity bill or up to 95% off their per unit cost of electricity for a full month. We show that the …

We find that, on average, our social comparison … electricity savings are impersistent and occur in the evening hours, which only slightly overlap with peak hours. We argue that … electricity conservation due to social comparisons is driven by short-run changes in households' electricity saving behavior …
