A model of household type specific food demand behaviour in Hungary

Brosig, Stephan - 2000

The paper describes a two stage model of Hungarian households' food demand. Demand for the food aggregate is represented by a Working-Leser type single equation model while demand for seven distinct food types is modelled in a complete demand system using the LA/AIDS functional form. Estimation...

Matching donations without crowding out? Some theoretical considerations, a field, and a lab experiment

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen - 2017

Is there a way of matching donations that avoids crowding out? We introduce a novel matching method where the matched amount is allocated to a different project, present some simple theoretical considerations that predict reduced crowding out or crowding in (depending on the degree of...

Giving once, giving twice: A two-period field experiment on intertemporal crowding in charitable giving

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen - 2018

We study intertemporal crowding between two fundraising campaigns for the same charitable organization by manipulating donors' beliefs about the likelihood of future campaigns in two subsequent field experiments. The data shows that initial giving is decreasing in the likelihood of a future...

On factors of consumer heterogeneity in (mis)valuation of future energy costs: Evidence for the German automobile market

Pleshcheva, Vlada; Klapper, Daniel; Dannewald, Till - 2019

In this paper, we first recover the individual valuation of expected future fuel costs at the time of a car purchase and then explore how various factors relate to the recovered consumer undervaluation of fuel savings (on average, consumers' willingness-to-pay for a AC1 reduction in fuel costs...

The moderating effect of fuel prices on the market value of fuel efficiency, driving intensity, and CO2 emissions

Klapper, Daniel; Pleshcheva, Vlada - 2019

In the current paper, we quantify the effect that fuel prices have on vehicle prices' responsiveness to fuel economy. We apply a hedonic price model to the German automobile market by using data on detailed technical specifications of high-sales vehicles of three sequential model years. In the...

Testing Consumer Theory: Evidence From a Natural Field Experiment

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen; Rasul, Imran - 2017

We present evidence from a natural field experiment designed to shed light on whether individual behavior is consistent with a neoclassical model of utility maximization subject to budget constraints. We do this through the lens of a field experiment on charitable giving. We find that the...
