This paper contains a micro econometric analysis of household electricity and natural gas demand for a cross section of 2,885 Danish households observed in 1996. The sample includes fulltime employed couples in single-family houses. The specification of the model is guided by an explorative nonparametric data analysis. The analysis reveals, among other things, the fairly surprising result that demand for heating is unaffected by the number of children in the household. The dependence between demand for gas and demand for electricity is examined in the paper. This is done by testing for separability of demand for gas from demand for electricity, and vice versa. Separability of electricity (gas) from gas (electricity) is tested by estimating demand for electricity (gas) conditional on demand for gas (electricity). The model allows for endogeneity of the conditional variable. Building regulations and individual time variation, that is panel data, identify the test. The test indicates that demand for electricity is separable from demand for natural gas, and that demand for natural gas is separable from demand for electricity. The result of the test is evidence in favour of single equation modelling of household energy demand in this context.

This paper conducts a comprehensive review of various estimates for natural gas demand responses. We consider a stream of empirical studies that have been conducted after 1950. The purpose of this paper is to provide the full image, synthesize and analyze the published studies in this field from the first experimental study to the beginning of 2019. In this study, we discuss the methods and techniques used, the application area, the variables, and data sources and data size. Most studies have investigated price and income elasticities; many fewer have focused upon demographic variables. This work will be of significant importance for future researchers aiming to analyze the demand for natural gas.

“…Major studies of demand for natural gas can be found in Taylor (1977), Griffin (1979), Barnes, Gillingham, and Hagemann (1982), Blattenberger, Taylor, andRennhack (1983), andAl-Sahlawi (1991), among others. Taylor (1977) first surveyed price and income elasticities of demand for major types of energy.…”

“…Using the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey of over 10,000 households conducted by the Bureau of the Census, Barnes, Gillingham, and Hagemann (1982) studied the demand for natural gas in the short run. Variables considered were income, the marginal price of natural gas, the rate structure premium, demographic variables, and a vector of appliance-specific factors.…”

Based on a generalized functional form, this study tests potential spatial differences in the price and income elasticities of demand for natural gas. Empirical results show that the double-log and linear forms can be rejected at the 1 percent or 10 percent level and that price and income elasticities vary significantly with the price of natural gas and income, respectively. Specifically, price elasticities varied from -0.29 for Alaska to -2.24 for Florida, and income elasticities ranged from 0.37 for Alaska to 1.44 for Florida. Since separate elasticities can be estimated for individual states, in empirical work we need not choose a priori the double-log form by assuming a constant elasticity across states.
