We present a new framework to identify demand and supply elasticities of agricultural commodities using yield shocks … - deviations from a time trend of output per area, which are predominantly caused by weather fluctuations. Demand is identified … recycled as feed stock for livestock, the predicted price increase scales back to 20 percent. While commodity demand is …

Exploiting a rich data set of passenger vehicle registrations in twenty U.S. metropolitan statistical areas from 1997 to 2005, we examine the effects of gasoline prices on the automotive fleet's composition. We find that high gasoline prices affect fleet fuel economy through two channels: (1)...

That is, when a stock exhibits an unusually elastic … demand curve, it tends simultaneously to exhibit an unusually inelastic supply curve, and vice versa. These findings have …

Econometric estimates of the responsiveness of health-related consumer demand to higher prices are often key … ingredients for policy analysis. Drawing on several examples, especially that of cigarette demand, we review the potential … advantages and challenges of synthesizing econometric evidence on the price-responsiveness of consumer demand. We argue that the …

We develop a new simulated method of moments estimator to estimate this … elasticity from disaggregate price and trade-flow data and we use it within Eaton and Kortum's (2002) Ricardian model. We apply … elasticity of roughly four, nearly fifty percent lower than Eaton and Kortum's (2002) approach. This difference doubles the …

Macroeconomic calibrations imply much larger labor supply elasticities than microeconometric studies. One prominent explanation for this divergence is that indivisible labor generates extensive margin responses that are not captured in micro studies of hours choices. We evaluate whether existing...
