Published 01 November, 2021
According to author Xiumei Yu: “The results of the paper have several policy implications. The fact that the average residential electricity use was reduced by the tiered pricing reform shows that this kind of reform can encourage residents to reduce their electricity use. In addition, our results suggest that policy intensity can be a powerful tool to guide residents to use electricity more efficiently.”
