Abstract | An econometric demand function is estimated for residential water use in Metropolitan Manila. Regression results using annual time series data from 1970 to 1981 show that residential water consumption responds to changes in economic variables: it is affected negatively by price and positively by family income. Residential demand showed an income (household) elasticity of 0.542 and a combined price elasticity of -0.287. |
