In most European countries, taxes and levies, the state-induced components of electricity prices, constitute the major share of electricity prices for consumers and are charged at a fixed rate. This study analyzes whether switching state-induced price components to time varying rates can support...

In this paper a set of ten different single-equation models of household energy demand is being analyzed. These simple models are being derived by the imposition of linear parameter restrictions on a fairly general autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) model in log-linear form. Household energy...

The present paper shows how cointegration analysis within a multivariate framework may be applied for the estimation of energy demand elasticities in order to account for the non-stationarity of the time series used. The dynamic modelling approach followed is one based on general-to-specific...
