From its inception, demand estimation has faced the problem of "many prices." This paper provides estimators of average … demand and associated bounds on exact consumer surplus when there are many prices in cross-section or panel data. For cross … "zeros problem" of demand. For panel data we provide bias corrected, ridge regularized estimators of average coefficients and …

This paper uses fare changes in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey to estimate the price elasticity of demand for …

our theory. We show that a key parameter determining the incentives for war is the elasticity of demand. Our first result … military action. In the case of inelastic resource demand, war incentives increase over time and war may become inevitable. Our …

elasticity of the demand for the output and the impact of demand and cost shifters. The use of this framework helps, in the first … way to assess the welfare effects of firms' innovative actions by estimating their impact on both cost and demand. We show …

Because no one was ever cured and consumers possessed a highly inelastic demand with … respect to product failures, demand was unrelenting. In short, patent medicines flourished not despite their dubious medicinal …

This paper estimates the price elasticity of demand for alcohol using Health and Retirement Survey data. To account for …

We estimate the price elasticity of water demand with household-level data, structurally modeling the piecewise … elasticity of demand under increasing-block prices and compare conditional and unconditional elasticities analytically and …
