Dataset_Price and income elasticities of industrial electricity demand in Brazil: estimates and implications of COVID - 19

These are data from the survey on electricity consumption in the industrial sector in Brazil. The research period was from 2003 to 2020 and considered that industrial consumption is explained by the price of electricity, industrial production, the price of natural gas, the level of imports and the climatic variables, average temperature, and level of rainfall.
The study considered six static estimators and one dynamic estimator (GMM) to verify robustness.
The main findings were: The impacts of COVID-19 were significant in all models, especially for the more industrialized states; the participation of industry (industrial production) has been declining in recent years, impacting less and less electricity consumption and; the price elasticity of demand for industrial electricity is more elastic in the more industrialized states, showing a systematic effect of levels of development and wealth generation on the price elasticity of electricity.

本数据集源自巴西工业领域电力消耗的调查数据。研究期间涵盖2003年至2020年，其中工业消费被解释为受电力价格、工业生产、天然气价格、进口水平以及气候变量（平均温度和降雨量）等因素影响。研究采用了六种静态估计量和一种动态估计量（广义矩估计法GMM）以验证结果的稳健性。主要发现包括：COVID-19疫情对所有模型均产生了显著影响，尤其是在工业化程度较高的州；近年来，工业（工业生产）的参与度呈现下降趋势，对电力消耗的影响逐渐减弱；工业化程度较高的州，工业电力需求的弹性更高，显示出发展水平和财富创造对电力需求弹性的系统性影响。
