Book Measuring Price and Income Elasticities of Residential Electricity Demand

Download or read book Measuring Price and Income Elasticities of Residential Electricity Demand written by Atlana Puett and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published estimates of the price elasticity of residential electricity demand range from -0.29 to -0.70, for analyses based on household level data; however, the area level estimates from range from -0.02 to -0.15. A similar pattern has been reported for estimates of the income elasticity of residential demand for electricity. Each published study relied on one type of data set (aggregated or disaggregated) and these datasets cover different time periods and locations. This raises the question: does the pattern generated by the published results reflect systematic differences generated by the use of aggregated vs. disaggregated data, or does the pattern reflect random variations in the study settings? In this research the hypothesis has been tested that the pattern generated by the published results reflects the use of aggregated vs. disaggregated data, by constructing both an individual-level dataset and a county-level dataset for one state (State of Nevada) covering the period from 2005 to 2011. Both datasets have been used to estimate household and utility level price and income elasticities of residential demand for electricity. This research shows the same pattern reported in the published studies: the magnitude of the estimated price elasticity generated by the disaggregated data exceeds the magnitude of the estimate generated by the disaggregated data. However, the magnitudes of the two income elasticities do not follow the same pattern.

Book Analyzing Demand Behavior

Download or read book Analyzing Demand Behavior written by Douglas R. Bohi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2011. This title takes econometric studies as data; it examines their assumptions, investigates their methodologies, contrasts the data sets they use, and compares their results. By informing users what they can and cannot expect from researchers, it can sharpen the criteria that are used to commission such studies and judge their results. By examining an array of studies dealing with the same or related phenomena, Bohi can analyse the ways in which decisions made by researchers affect their results. All while considering inferences surrounding the role of econometric demand estimation in formulating policy and understanding demand behavior.

Book A Cross Country Analysis of Residential Electricity Demand In 11 OECD Countries

Download or read book A Cross Country Analysis of Residential Electricity Demand In 11 OECD Countries written by Kiran Chandra and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We provide consistent, cross-country estimates of price and income elasticity for the residential sector of 11 OECD countries. Using survey data from 2011 on annual consumption of electricity and sample-derived average electricity price, we provide country-specific price elasticity estimates and average income elasticity estimates. For most countries in our sample, we find strong price responsiveness, with elasticities varying between -0:27 for South Korea and -1:4 for Australia, with most countries elasticity being above (in absolute value) -0:5. Exploiting the presence of many attitudinal indicators, we find evidence for non-price related factors, in particular households' self-reported energy saving behavior, to reduce energy demand between 2 and 4%. In contrast, we find very weak income response, with income elasticities varying from 0:07 to 0:14 and no evidence for heterogeneity across the countries in our sample. Our results regarding price elasticity are in contrast with many existing studies which find low-to-moderate price responsiveness, and adds to a few recent studies indicating more policy space for demand reduction than previously thought.

Book Residential Consumption of Gas and Electricity in the US

Download or read book Residential Consumption of Gas and Electricity in the US written by Anna Alberini and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study residential demand for electricity and gas, working with nationwide household-level data that cover recent years, namely 1997-2007. Our dataset is a mixed panel/multi-year cross-sections of dwellings/households in the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the United States as of 2008. To our knowledge, this is the most comprehensive set of data for examining household residential energy usage at the national level, containing the broadest geographical coverage, and with the longest longitudinal component (up to 6 observations per dwelling). We estimate static and dynamic models of electricity and gas demand. We find strong household response to energy prices, both in the short and long term. From the static models, we get estimates of the own price elasticity of electricity demand in the -0.860 to -0.667 range, while the own price elasticity of gas demand is -0.693 to -0.566. These results are robust to a variety of checks. Contrary to earlier literature (Metcalf and Hassett, 1999; Reiss and White, 2005), we find no evidence of significantly different elasticities across households with electric and gas heat. The price elasticity of electricity demand declines with income, but the magnitude of this effect is small. These results are in sharp contrast to much of the literature on residential energy consumption in the United States, and with the figures used in current government agency practice. Our results suggest that there might be greater potential for policies which affect energy price than may have been previously appreciated.
