Dynamics of Household Drinking- Water Consumption: Study of a Sample Group of French
Communes
by Cécile Nauges and Alban Thomas
The early 1990s was a turning point for household consumption of water. In addition to a surge in price, a decline in domestic consumption was recorded for the first time. This paper demonstrates that users were not unresponsive to the increase in the price of water, since long-term elasticity is calculated to be -0.6 over the 1988-1993 period. Moreover, estimation from a dynamic model with non-stationary individual effects reveals the influence of specific phenomena in 1990 and 1991. The droughts during this period and the discussion on the entry into force of new regulations unquestionably raised the awareness of consumers, who altered their consumption behaviour.
