Abstract | Residential electricity consumption in China experienced a boom in recent years and may increase faster in the future. To reduce residential electricity consumption, China has adopted Increasing Block Tariffs (IBT) since 2012. The previous work mainly used regional level aggregated data to assess the impact. Few studies using household level data did not overcome the endogeneity problem. Based on the instrumental variable method, this paper found that commonly used OLS estimation gave unreasonable results and instrumental variable method is appropriate and effective in this study. The IBT was found to significantly reduce residential electricity consumption in high-income group, which achieving the initial goal of China's IBT. Lastly, this paper proposed to generate more publicity of the IBT policy and increase the electricity price of second or third tier. (C) 2021 Institution of Chemical Engineers.
