Consulting has been approached by the State Water Board to undertake a consulting job. With the ever-present threat of drought conditions throughout the State, the Water Board needs to consider whether to apply restrictions and what form these should take. As you may recall there were several types of restrictions that were implemented in the past. The General Manager of the Water Board was prepared to simply use the same restrictions arguing she recalls an average drop in total State consumption of 12% when the restrictions were in place. However, their Chief Economist argued that they needed a more comprehensive evaluation of the impact of those restrictions and their General Manager had agreed and consequently we have been awarded the project. The project will take 8 weeks (excluding weeks 6 and 10). For Week 1, please answer the following questions:1. What is the goal of the econometric analysis (research question) of the project?

Solution
The goal of the econometric analysis (research question) of the project is to comprehensively evaluate the impact of past water restrictions on total state consumption. This includes determining the effectiveness of these restrictions in reducing water consumption and identifying which types of restrictions were most effective. The analysis will also aim to provide insights that can guide the implementation of future water restrictions, should they be necessary.
