THE MICROECONOMETRIC APPROACH TO MODELLING ENERGY DEMAND: SOME RESULTS FOR UK HOUSEHOLDS
使用英国家庭支出调查数据,建立家庭能源支出和耐用品拥有模型,发现价格和收入弹性高度依赖家庭特征、房屋产权、耐用品拥有和室外温度,并将结果用于政策分析。
The paper is concerned with the empirical modeling of domestic demand for energy at the level of the individual household. A model of household energy expenditures and energy using durable ownership is described. Estimation takes place using a pooled sample of households drawn from the repeated cross- sections of the annual Family Expenditure Survey (FES). Price and income elasticities are found to be highly dependent on individual household characteristics, type of house tenure, energy using durable ownership and outside temperature. Finally the results are placed in a policy relevant context. Copyright 1991 by Oxford University Press.
