A chapter in Revisiting Electricity Market Reforms, 2022, pp 185-206 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Does a reform in the electricity market enhance energy consumption? To what extent do the complex layers of socio-economic and demographic fabric moderate the positive externalities of reform on consumption behaviour? To answer these questions, the current study models and estimates the mediating role of the socio-economic-demographic fabric of intra- and interregional consumption patterns to elicit significantly heterogeneous electricity consumption behaviour in India’s energy market. The study also aims to offer predictive insights into the speed at which a fully reformed energy market would produce equivalent Pareto optimal welfare consequences in terms of electricity consumption. Policy implications are drawn given our empirical findings.
