Household responses to increased water rates during the California drought.
A study was conducted to examine the use of fixed-effects and maximum-likelihood techniques to gauge household responses to water price hikes during the California drought. Data were drawn from bimonthly meter readings from 599 single-family households in the Alameda County Water District between 1...

Data were drawn from bimonthly meter readings from 599 single-family households in the Alameda County Water District between 1982 and 1992, prior and subsequent to the introduction of a steeply increasing block-rate price structure. Findings indicate that household and monthly fixed-effects models are not successful in modeling water demand with these data but that maximum-likelihood models that explicitly consider the household's response to the rate structure lead to plausible estimates of water demand. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
