摘要: This paper explores the use of fixed effects and maximum likelihood techniques to es- timate household responses water price in- creases during California drought. Estimates are based on bimonthly meter readings from 599 single-family households in Alameda County Water District over period 1982-1992, before after introduction a steeply increasing block rate structure. I find that monthly models not success- ful modeling demand with these data. However, ex- plicitly consider household's response structure result plausible estimates wa- ter demand. (JEL Q25)
