The real-time price elasticity of electricity

What do we know about the size of the rebound effect, the well-known phenomenon that improving energy efficiency may save less energy than expected due to a rebound of energy use? Is there...

The Rebound Effect and Energy Efficiency Policy

A meta-analysis on the price elasticity of energy demand

This paper reports estimates of the long- and short-run elasticities of residential demand for electricity in Australia using the bounds testing procedure to cointegration, within an autoregressive distributive lag framework. In the long run, we find that income and own price are the most important determinants of residential electricity demand, while temperature is significant some of the time and gas prices are insignificant. Our estimates of long-run income elasticity and price elasticity of demand are consistent with previous studies, although they are towards the lower end of existing estimates. As expected, the short-run elasticities are much smaller than the long-run elasticities, and the coefficients on the error-correction coefficients are small consistent with the fact that in the short-run energy appliances are fixed.

Electricity consumption in G7 countries: A panel cointegration analysis of residential demand elasticities

The demand for electricity in the GCC countries

The purpose of this study is twofold. First, to shed some light on energy pricing policies in the GCC countries and to estimate the hidden subsidy or tax by comparing these prices with their international counterparts. Second, to discuss the potential benefits and costs of formal gasoline taxes in these countries.
