Estimating residential electricity demand under declining-block tariffs: an econometric study using micro-data

TLDR
In this paper, a disaggregated economic study of 3825 geographic areas of Los Angeles County was used to estimate electricity demand under declining-block rates, and the results were given in terms of short and long-run changes and income elasticities.
Abstract
A disaggregated economic study of 3825 geographic areas of Los Angeles County was used to estimate electricity demand under declining-block rates. Micro-level data were collected on the marginal price of households, the control of eight major appliances, and weather variables. Several biases are noted, but demand theory under declining-block rates is confirmed. The results are given in terms of short- and long-run changes and income elasticities. 15 references, 5 figures, 3 tables. (DCK)

The impact of price on residential water demand: Some new insights

TL;DR: In this paper, marginal price elasticities are reestimated from the Johns Hopkins Residential Water Use Project data of 1963-1965, utilizing more appropriate forms of household water demand functions derived from recent advances in consumer theory that account for the effects of a rate structure.

Residential Demand for Electric Energy

TL;DR: In this paper, the determinants of residential demand for electric energy were investigated and it was shown that the long run own-price elasticity of demand is equal to at least unity, contrary to the common assumption that demand is not responsive to price.
