| Abstract: | The author investigates the structure of industrial water demand by estimating the derived demand for water on a sample of industrial establishments located in the south-west of France. Production technologies are represented by short-term variable cost funvctions. Results of estimations show that industrial firms are sensitive to water price inputs. Network water elasticity is estimated at -0.29. It varies from -0.10 to -0.79 according to the type of industrial considered. Autonomous water price elasticity is not significant. Elasticity for treated water is evaluated at -1.42 at the mean-sample and varies from 0.90 to -2.21 according to the industry considered. |
