estimation of water demand in the different sectors, spatially in the urban areas is an important subject that it has considered by scientists and economic researchers’. water shortage and related challenges are most important problems of cities. this study was done according to stonegray function and consumer behavior in microeconomic theory. lineline, log line, loglog and some kinds of econom...

the regulated price policy may be implemented for some products. it is generally implemented for some products such as electricity, natural gas, water and so on that are supplied as monopolist. the regulated price shock on these products may lead to an adjustment in the endowments of primary factors. the aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of a regulated price shock on price indices...

In this research, the demand function of drinkable  water in Qazvin Province was estimated using dynamic and static methods. The required data were collected from the data of the provinces of Qazvin in the time period (1996-2016) and collected by referring to the statistical system of Statistics Center of Iran and the provincial planning and budget organization of Qazvin Province. The explanato...

in this paper, productivity of and demand for water throughout eqlid’s sugar beet growers in 1385 were investigated. to address the objective 100 growers were selected using two-stage cluster sampling, then required dataset was obtained by interviewing and completing questionnaire. in order to study factors affecting sugar beet production, cobb-douglas production function was applied. based on ...

Given the strategic remarkable rank of pistachio in non-oil exports, inputs’ management in its production is so important. As the scarcest input in agricultural sector, water is considered to be among the most important inputs of pistachio production.Water inadequate supply and limate conditions increase water demand in pistachio growing areas. It is necessary to determine the real value or pri...

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...

This study investigates the water demand of Indian manufacturing plants. It adopts an input distance function approach and approximates it by a translog form. Duality between cost function and input distance function is exploited to retrieve information concerning substitutability and the shadow price of water. The model is estimated, using linear programming approach, on a sample of 92 firms o...
