This paper is intended to test and estimate time-varying elasticities for gasoline demand in Switzerland. For this purpose, a smooth time-varying cointegrating parameters model is investigated in order to describe smooth mutations of the Swiss gasoline demand. The methodology, based on Chebyshev...

We formulate a model for determining the optimal pricing, order quantity and replenishment period for perishable items with price-dependent and time-dependent demand. The items have a fixed shelf-life, and the demand rate decreases linearly in the selling price and polynomially over the time...

The paper uses price and non-price measures of competitiveness to investigate the determinants of Greek manufacturing export over the period 1988-2005. The conceptual framework bases on the estimation of an export demand function augmented with supply side factors. The findings of the paper...

This article examines behavioural responses to changes in energy prices by surveying the magnitude of energy price elasticities. Price elasticity estimates can be used to understand behavioural responses to changes in prices due to environmental taxes. A theoretical framework is presented...

This study investigates the sensitivity of on-street parking demand using the automatic transaction data from parking pay stations obtained before and after a parking rate change that was implemented in Seattle in early 2011. The parking rate implementation is based on performance-based pricing...

This paper studies the clothing export performance of twelve top exporting countries (China, Honk Kong, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Turkey, UK and USA) in the period between 1992 and 2011. Price and income elasticities are estimated for each country, after...

We conduct a large-scale field experiment with 2,440 subjects in which we exogenously vary the price of contributing to the closest empirical counterpart of an infinitely large public good, climate change mitigation. We find that the price effect is robust and negative, but quantitatively weak,...
