Title: Elastic analysis on the water demand of urban residential of Harbin
Abstract: Based on the analysis of the adjustment on domestic water price and the growth on income of residents in Harbin,the quantitative analysis of the elasticity of domestic water price and income in Harbin was made with double logarithmic model.A conclusion was that price elasticity was-0.105 and income elasticity was 0.424.The analysis results indicated that domestic water price elasticity was low and the water price still had a large space to rise.Only when the increase of water price was obviously more than that of the average income,the domestic water consumption of residents in Harbin may be invariant or increased slowly.
