需求弹性视角下的我国阶梯电价政策解析

Analysis on the Ladder Price Policy from the Perspective of Demand Elasticity in China

2010年10月9日,国家发展与改革委员会下发了《关于居民生活用电实行阶梯电价的指导意见》,公开向社会征求关于在我国推行阶梯电价政策的相关意见。就此,阶梯电价走入国民眼帘,国内掀起了阶梯电价的讨论风尚。就阶梯电价的政策推行和阶梯电价的相关定价,定量标准展开了一系列的讨论。作为公共产品中的准公共产品(公共资源),电力的价格会影响到居民生活水平的高低甚至国家稳定。因此,有必要对阶梯电价政策的相对必要性与可行性进行分析。

On October 9, 2010, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the ＂Directives regarding residents household power usage measured on a incremental scale＂ and at the same time, the Commission sought the views of the public on the matter. Hereby, incremental electricity usage attracted nation-wide attention and the domestic price discussion was started. The policy implementation depends on the incremental usage measurement and; quantitative criteria relevant pricing also spawned wide-spread discussion. As public products in the quasi-public product （public resources）, electric power prices will affect people＇s living standard and sometimes stability is at stake. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the necessity and feasibility of such a practice.
