Abstract

Price Elasticity plays a critical role in determining Water Tariff and its system. Many economic decision makers and researchers have estimated demand function for different cities in order to predict the associated income and Price Elasticity. In this research we reviewed 20 studies on urban domestic water demand function from which 63 Price Elasticity values were obtained. Since the Price Elasticity values obtained from these studies had significant statistical differences, the aim of this research is to determine the effective factors in Price Elasticity values as well as to analyze differences in such values using meta-analysis technique. The meta-analysis technique focuses on variation in water Price Elasticity results. The statistical meta-analysis technique focuses on two main objectives of publication bias or Publication Heterogeneity in reported results. The results indicated that publication bias is negligible while Publication Heterogeneity is significant. The major factors affecting Price Elasticity values are classified into 4 categories including theoretical, model, data and socio-geographical specifications. The result indicated that variables such as income, time-series datasets, natural logarithm function and use of stone-geary theory which is the basis for predicting many domestic water demand functions, significantly overestimate the Price Elasticity values. Also the geographical condition of the region, population density and use of OLS technique to estimate the demand parameters underestimates the Price Elasticity values.
