The determinants of residential water demand: empirical evidence for a panel of Italian municipalities (2006, neutral): “Nevertheless, Dalhuisen et al. (2003) in their meta-analysis of water demand empirical studies, show price elasticity values in a range with a negative upper value much higher than one. concerning price and income elasticities may indicate that, at least in regions associated to high per capita…”
A Meta-Analysis of the Willingness to Pay for Reductions in Pesticide Risk Exposure (2004, positive): “We therefore use the number of observations of the underlying studies as a proxy to account for the precision with which the effect sizes have been estimated (see also Dalhuisen et al., 2003).”
Meta-Analysis of Airport Noise and Hedonic Property Values (2004, neutral): “In related work, Button and Nijkamp (1997) pooled estimates of the NDI for airport noise with estimates for road traffic noise.”
The Value of Scarce Water: Measuring the Inefficiency of Municipal Regulations (2012, positive): “1997, Dalhuisen et al. 2004). (5)In estimating demand elasticities, Mayer et al. (1998) use average prices, not marginal prices.”
PICTURE THIS: A SIMPLE GRAPH THAT REVEALS MUCH ADO ABOUT RESEARCH (2010, neutral): “For example, Figure 4 plots the reported price elasticities for residential water demand (Dalhuisen et al., 2003).”
The Economics of Managing Scarce Water Resources (2010, background): “Likewise, in a meta-analysis of almost 300 price elasticity studies conducted between 1963 and 1998, Dalhuisen et al. (2003) obtained a mean price elasticity of −0.41.”
Irrigation water demand: A meta‐analysis of price elasticities (2006, background): “…has so far been limited to the study of contingent value estimates of the value of improved groundwater quality [Boyle et al., 1994], wetlands [Woodward and Wui, 2001; Brouwer et al., 2003], and price and income elasticities of residential water demand [Espey et al., 1997; Dalhuisen et al., 2003].”
Price Knowledge in Household Demand for Utility Services (2005, background): “…of the price variable have statistically significant effects on estimated price elasticities (e.g., Espey, Espey, and Shaw 1997; Hanemann 1998; Renzetti 2002; Arbues, Garcia-Valinas, and Martinez- Espineira 2003; Dalhuisen et al. 2003; Espey and Espey 2004; Kamerschen and Porter 2004).”
Environmental regulation of households: An empirical review of economic and psychological factors (2008, background): “Espey et al. (1997) focuses on price elasticities while Dalhuisen et al. (2003) cover also income elasticities of residential demand for water.”
