Estimation and measurement of consumption externalities are still challenging problems in applied research. In this … paper, externalities as Nash equilibrium are estimated using consumer demand theory and a large data set. We estimate Nash … equilibrium consumption externalities in petrol budget shares of households living in a metropolitan area in UK. The reaction …
