This paper analyses residential demand for internet access in Austria with a focus on broadband internet connections …. Austria has a cable network coverage of about 50% and is, therefore, a good candidate to analyse the elasticity of demand for … demand for DSL is elastic and that cable networks are likely to be in the same market as DSL connections both at the retail …

This note provides the first empirical evidence on the demand for UNEs …

This paper develops a new method for estimating the demand function for gasoline and the deadweight loss due to an … economic theory to improve the precision of a nonparametric estimate of the demand function. Using data from the U.S. National … Household Travel Survey, we show that the restrictions are consistent with the data on gasoline demand and remove the anomalous …

This paper develops a new method for estimating a demand function and the welfare consequences of price changes. The … method is applied to gasoline demand in the U.S. and is applicable to other goods. The method uses shape restrictions derived … from economic theory to improve the precision of a nonparametric estimate of the demand function. Using data from the U …

There are many projections for China’s food demand, and the projection results differ significantly from each other …. Different values for income elasticities could be a major reason. This study projects meat and cereals demand for China based on …

own-price elasticity of quantity demand for soda of between −1.0 and −1.3. These estimates ignore consumer responses on … prices to estimate unrestricted demand models that correct for both errors. The corrected own-price elasticity of quantity … demand is just −0.2 to −0.3, so tax-induced soda price increases might cut average weights by less than one pound, which is …

We study the dynamics of residential electricity demand by exploiting a natural experiment that produced large and long … that the price elasticity of demand grows from -0.09 in the first six months to -0.27 two years later. We also estimate a …

In this paper, we explore subsistence levels and price elasticities for residential electricity demand in Sweden. Using … a Stone-Geary functional form and unique Swedish data on residential electricity usage, we estimate demand Equations for … peak and off-peak demand. We find that the subsistence levels are larger during peak than off-peak, and that there is a …
