Abstract
This paper considers the problem of forecasting demand subject to a non-linear rate schedule. We develop an empirical model of electricity demand subject to a quantity determined rate schedule and suggest a new procedure to estimate population taste variation. Using micro-level data from the 1975 Washington Center for Metropolitan Studies (WCMS) survey, we provide evidence on the prevalence and extent of block switching.
