elasticity of revenues with respect to the tax rate over a ten-year period is -0.5 to -0.3, indicating that capital gains tax …

elasticity of trade with respect to trade frictions. 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 …

assumptions about the long run effect of wages rates on labor supply. The available estimates of the wage elasticity of male labor … function. Our estimates suggest that the elasticity of labor supply is about -0.2, implying that income effects dominate …

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) shifting new auto purchases towards more fuel-efficient vehicles … estimates suggest that a 10% increase in gasoline prices from 2005 levels will generate a 0.22% increase in fleet fuel economy …
