We investigate the effect of introducing a fiscally neutral increasing block rate water budget
price structure on residential water demand. We estimate that demand was reduced by …

We carry out an empirical analysis of the influence of the price of water and the structure of
water prices on residential water demand. We adapt a model from the labor economics …

In this paper, we show that the rate structure endogeneity may result in a misspecification of
the residential water demand function. We propose to solve this endogeneity problem by …

In this paper, we formulate and estimate a model of residential water demand with the aim of
evaluating the potential of pricing policies as a mechanism for managing residential water …

We estimate the price elasticity of water demand with household-level data, structurally
modeling the piecewise-linear budget constraints imposed by increasing block pricing. We …

For an examination of the relationships between household income levels and residential
water use, individual household survey data from Tucson, Arizona the combined with …

This paper considers a model of household demand for water in a theoretical framework
consistent with fundamental principles of consumer behaviour. It applies this model to …

A residential water demand equation is estimated using a panel data sample of five
Portuguese local communities and 72 months, corresponding to a total number of 360 …

A discrete/continuous choice model of the residential demand for water under block rate
pricing is presented, estimated, and compared to results of regression models. The empirical …

The aim of this Special Issue is to gather evidence on the impact of price policies (PP) and
non-price policies (NPP) in shaping residential water use in a context of increased water …
