An Engineering/Econometric Analysis of Seasonal Energy Demand and Conservation in the Pacific Northwest
美国太平洋西北地区季节性能源需求与节能的工程—计量分析
This article estimates a new model of residential electricity demand. It differs from previous work in two ways. First, we use individual monthly billing data in a pooled time-series/cross- section framework. Second, we use an engineering/thermal-load technique to model the household space-heating technology. We estimate the model using data from the Pacific Northwest and use the results to analyze three conservation measures: a price increase, a reduction in thermostat…
