Analysis of demand for electricity in the United States

Energy, 1992, vol. 17, issue 7, 725-733

Abstract: We investigate the lack of general agreement concerning the determinants of energy demand and consider residential, commercial and industrial demand for electric energy. Our Halvorsen-type models permit consistent estimation of total elasticities of demand for the three sectors. The estimated own-price elasticity is above unity for the commercial demand but less than unity for the residential and industrial demands.
