Abstract: This paper analyses historical data of residential electricity demand in the United States for the period 1970-2007. Such analysis is conducted through an ADF unit root test, Johansen test and a rolling regression. The results indicate that the primary driver of adjustments in electricity consumption is the own price elasticity of demand and growth in real income per capita.
