      abstract = {This study uses panel data at suburb level to estimates  the elasticity water demands in
Perth, Australia from 1995  to 2005. After deriving the consumer’s water demand under  a
non-linear budget constraint, we estimate the water  demand model, which accounts for
how water (and other  purchased goods) is used to satisfy fundamental desires of  the
household. We have applied the specification of price  that provided the correctly
estimated marginal price from  the block tariff structure, and employed a  maximum
likelihood estimation technique to tackle the  endogeneity and heteroskedasticity issues.
Our estimation  of water demand price elasticities are slightly higher  (more elastic) than
previous study in Perth, but broadly in  line with other estimates in the literature.},
