Analysis of demand for electricity in the United States

Abstract

We investigate the lack of general agreement concerning the determinants of energy demand and consider residential, commercial and industrial demand for electric energy. Our Halvorsen-type models permit consistent estimation of total elasticities of demand for the three sectors. The estimated own-price elasticity is above unity for the commercial demand but less than unity for the residential and industrial demands.
