Workshop on " Managing Water Demand" 

September 16-17, 2015, London

The aim of the workshop is to bring together scholars interested in the economic analysis of water demand. The program will encompass both theoretical contributions as well as empirical research using natural or field experiments and survey or administrative data.

Areas of interest include but are not restricted to research on:

  • Modelling and estimating household water demand
  • Water pricing and metering
  • The impact of behavioural interventions on water demand
  • The role of regulation and public policy
  • Water affordability

The workshop will be held at University College London and will include a policy round table with policy makers and representatives from the water industry. The event is organized with the support of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), Southern Water and WATEF – Water Efficiency Network. 

Michael Price (Georgia State University and NBER) will deliver a keynote address.
