Understanding the income/GDP and price elasticities of electricity demand is important for forecasting demand and evaluation of the potential impact of policies. Yet, there has been little work on this topic that focuses on countries outside the OECD. We employ a new database of cross-country...

This article has two objectives: (i) to identify the price and income elasticities of demand for residential electricity in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and (ii) to verify their main determinants. Meta-analysis and meta-regression methods were applied. After collecting and filtering...

The study estimates income and price elasticities of natural gas demand for industrial, commercial, and residential sectors of Pakistan. The study also examines the relationship between natural gas consumption and underlying energy demand trend (UEDT) which follows a stochastic process that is...

We hypothesize and provide evidence that prices are more inelastic when demand is less diversifiable. Specifically, we decompose order-flow imbalance into several components with varying degrees of diversifiability and estimate their price impacts. The results reveal a continuum of price...

The paper seeks to analyze residential energy use patterns and the price and energy expenditure responsiveness of household demand for residential energy in Ghana, using GLSS 7 data, the multivariate probit model, and the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) model. The study focuses on...

The study aims to estimate the short-term impact of the recent rounds of food price inflation and the COVID19 crisis by estimating a household food demand system, converted to energy and nutrient intakes. It demonstrates that recent food and nutrition surveys conducted by the Philippine...

We analyse a panel of 25 European-countries to provide novel estimates of monthly own-price, cross-price, and income elasticities of natural-gas-demand from 2005 to 2020. We find that: first, there is an European Standard Behaviour (ESB) with a strong-seasonal component. Second, we identify...
