摘要
Our panel data analysis of the price responsiveness of industrial demand for natural gas in the United States utilizes five parametric specifications and 10,944 monthly observations for the lower 48 states in 2001-2019 to document statistically significant (p-value < 0.05) static own-price elasticity estimates of -0.027 to -0.062, short-run -0.029 to -0.125, and long-run -0.060 to -0.179. These estimates with relatively small absolute values support the continuation of energy efficiency standards and demand-side-management programs for deep decarbonization. Further, diverse price responsiveness among heterogeneous industrial customers suggests using demand-response programs to efficiently allocate the limited supply available during a natural gas shortage.
