Many countries use a single water meter for multiple units within a building. This creates a cost externality where the cost of water consumed is spread over all units. Using administrative data from Tehran Water and Wastewater Co. for 2013 and 2014, we find an increase in the number of units on a communal meter on average increases per unit use by 0.4%. Estimation at different levels of units reveals that almost all communal meters have higher per unit water use. The results suggest that removing this externality could save 2.7% water consumption in our sample.

居民用水的公共计量的外部性:德黑兰的案例

许多国家/地区将单个水表用于建筑物内的多个单元。这就产生了成本外部性,消耗的水成本分布在所有单位上。使用德黑兰自来水和废水公司2013年和2014年的行政数据,我们发现公用仪表上的单位数量增加,平均每单位使用量增加0.4%。不同单位水位的估算表明,几乎所有公用仪表的单位用水量都较高。结果表明,消除这种外部性可以节省2.7%的样品用水量。
