Non‐Linearities in Electricity Demand and Temperature: Parametric Versus Non‐Parametric Methods
利用英国家庭高频面板数据，研究室外温度与住宅供暖电力需求之间的非线性关系，比较参数与非参数方法在识别非线性上的效果，发现参数形式存在局限。
This paper investigates the relationship between outside air temperature and the residential demand for space heating energy. These non‐linearities are investigated empirically using high frequency panel data for a sample of UK households, and both parametric and non‐parametric methods for identifying non‐linearities are examined. The econometric evidence finds support for important non‐linearities across the range of observed temperatures and points to limitations in the use of parametric functional forms.
