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 United States 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 …

In consumer demand this form of measurement error is present because the price … show the importance of such measurement errors for the estimation of demand in a setting with nonseparable unobserved … heterogeneity. We develop a consistent estimator using external information on the true distribution of prices. Examining the demand …

We provide a new framework to identify demand elasticities in markets where managers rely on algorithmic … identify demand elasticities across hotel room types and over time. We confirm these elasticity estimates with a difference …-function approach to two classic questions in the dynamic pricing literature: the evolution of price elasticity of demand over time as …

Understanding how consumers respond to price increases is key when designing price-related policies. Using microdata on vehicle usage and paid fuel prices, I analyze consumers' response, focusing on three channels of mitigation: distance driven, fuel efficiency, and search. On average, consumers...

We propose a new instrument for estimating the price elasticity of gasoline demand that exploits systematic differences … response to an aggregate oil price shock. Time-varying estimates do not support the view that the gasoline demand elasticity … rose to about -0.2 in 2015-16, but has remained stable since 2016.
