Demanda de agua de uso comercial en la reserva de la biosfera El Vizcaíno, México: Una estimación con datos de panel

摘要: Most of the literature about urban water demand has focused on estimating determinants for domestic use and there is little empirical evidence commercial (Worthington, 2010). The analysis areas not protected areas, particularly in arid regions. Water resources are fundamental to development productive activities input, generating added value amount supplies needed by staff working sector. In addition, agencies responsible provision drinking sewerage face serious economic problems such as nonpayment users benefited; meters insufficient accurately measure supply, resulting a lower billing utilities restriction controlling demand. This situation deserves further treatment applied. paper aims analyze response consumers changes prices short long run. It also measures effect nonpayment, proportion with meter other variables average temperature precipitation level consumption. A dynamic function specifying price was estimated using panel data. results indicate that negatively impacts consumer low magnitude. elasticity run were less than one, -0.07 -0.18, respectively. Temperature 0.09, semi-elasticity 0.20 ratio who have 0.23.
