Water demand under alternative price structures
We estimate the price elasticity of water demand with household-level data, structurally modeling the piecewise-linear budget constraints imposed by increasing block pricing. We develop a mathematical expression for the unconditional price elasticity of demand under increasing block prices and compare conditional and unconditional elasticities analytically and empirically. We test the hypothesi...
متن کاملInformation Structures, Price Discrimination and Demand Uncertainty
Numerous contract scenarios in information technology goods and services, telecommunications, digital entertainment, and supply chain contracting feature demand uncertainty for individual customers (demand is subject to idiosyncratic demand shocks that change marginal valuations). Sellers in these scenarios often use non-linear pricing mechanisms (flat rate, two part tariffs, three-part tariffs...
متن کاملEvaluating alternative capacity strategies in semiconductor manufacturing under uncertain demand and price scenarios
Because product demand is very volatile and machine and process technologies are advanced at a rapid pace, capacity planning, and investment in the semiconductor industry is a challenging task. Many studies have addressed midand shortterm machine portfolio planning tasks of capacity planning. However, capacity planning should be considered in a framework of strategy planning in order to address...
متن کاملPrice and Non-Price Influences on Water Conservation: An Econometric Model of Aggregate Demand under Nonlinear Budget Constraint
In this paper, a basic theoretical model of residential water consumption that adequately represents consumer behavior when facing a nonlinear budget constraint is developed. The theoretical model for an individual consumer is adapted to yield an aggregate model that essentially preserves the structure of the demand function for the individual. The model is used to study the influence of prices...
