This paper proposes a simple two-step estimation method (Climate Adaptive Response Estimation - CARE) to estimate … residential electricity and natural gas demand for the world's sixth largest economy - California. The advantage of the proposed …-of-the-art climate models, we simulate future demand by letting households vary consumption along the intensive and extensive margins. We …

This is the first paper to investigate the determinants of the demand for medical care in the People's Republic of … care spending, and price. A two-part model and a discrete factor model are used in the estimation. Household … characteristics and work conditions impact the demand for medical care. Income elasticity is around 0.3, indicating medical care is a …

approximately $140 million or 7.5 percent of current coverage. As expected, tax effects vary with the elasticity of demand. When … demand is largely inelastic, e.g., automobile liability coverage, taxes do not affect self-insurance …

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

. We then describe the patterns found in the data and argue that firm and market specific demand shocks help explain a …

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 …

consumers, providing an efficiency justification for across-market mergers. The methods we propose can estimate demand for other …
