| Abstract | Increasing block tariffs seek a cross-subsidy mechanism between the water network users, based on the common assumption of weak water price elasticity. In Manaus, the capital city of the Brazilian state of Amazonas where most of the 1.6 million dwellers are supplied through the municipal water network, a substantial consumption drop followed the tariff increase of 2004. This drop questions the cross-subsidy capacity of the current structure. We see this 31.51% tariff increase as a natural experiment applied to the whole network user population of Manaus and this allows us to measure the impact on monthly consumption of metered households, using month per month differences between years 2003 and 2004. |
