Text

The estimated equation contains a constant term that is unique to each participant household. The purpose of this constant term is to capture all the determinants of that participant’s energy use that are constant over time. In effect, this approach automatically controls for differences among participants that influence the average level of consumption across participants. The specification of customer specific effects allows the model to capture much of the baseline differences across customers while obtaining reliable estimates of the impacts of the measures installed. This covariance approach has the advantage of bringing all of the sample information together in a consistent manner for estimation purposes. Time-series regression techniques for correcting for autocorrelation are also applied during the regression analysis.
