Empirical Analysis of Demand of Natural Gas by Households in Europe
Empirical Analysis of Demand of Natural Gas by Households in Europe

Summary/Abstract: The article presents empirical analysis of demand of natural gas in 12 countries from European Union (EU), including Bulgaria, for the period 1989-2008. The ultimate goal is to assess the short-term and long-term elasticities of demand in different countries and in EU as a whole. These elasticities have to give a plausible picture of changing consumption of natural gas by the households and to allow determination and interpretation of the key indicator of the organization of gas sector – the relative price elasticity.
