摘要: A demand function of residential water consumption is developed from a 1997 to 2006 panel 200 Wisconsin utilities. double-log functional form assumed and parameters are estimated using random effects model. The results suggest that the price inelastic yet negative statistically significant this elasticity response grows stronger as marginal level increased. Additionally, model reveals savings due monthly billing also annual technology adoption.
