Nonlinear Effect Analysis of Electricity Price on Household Electricity Consumption

The household energy consumption has been a hot field in the study of recent years. With increase residents’ income level and pushing urbanization, there is complex nonlinear relationship between price consumption. purpose this paper to investigate scenario effect per capita regional differences urbanization development on electricity sales urban To direction, based characteristics economic China, with disposable as conversion variables core explanatory variable, panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model from perspectives constructed paper. empirical results show following: (1) Under consideration difference level, significant negative correlation whole country, eastern region, central while such significantly positive western region. (2) national are positively related consumption, region plays biggest role promoting followed by then which smallest role. This discusses perspective provides decision-making basis support for developing policy policy.
