Understanding the income/GDP and price elasticities of energy/electricity demand is important for forecasting demand and evaluation of the potential impact of policies. Recent work on the GDP elasticity of economy-wide electricity demand has suggested that this elasticity is both substantially...

The price elasticity of residential and non-residential energy demand is crucial for assessing energy policies and consumption forecasts.In this paper, using the monthly billing data of 51,177 end-users in Veneto (Italy), we implemented three panel-data models, analyzing the elasticity between...
