This paper determines the extent to which gasoline price elasticity is affected by the availability of a substitute for driving — public transportation. Measuring the substitutability of public transportation presents an important practical difficulty. To address this, we predict...

This paper analyzes how driving patterns are affected by gasoline taxes and the availability of a substitute for driving—public transportation. We develop a measure of transportation substitutability based on the difference between individuals’ predicted commute times by private and public...

This paper determines the extent to which gasoline price elasticity is affected by the availability of a substitute for driving—public transportation. Measuring the substitutability of public transportation presents an important practical difficulty. To address this, we predict individuals’...

Using confidential household-level data, we estimate spatial and demographic variation in household-level gasoline price elasticities and gasoline tax burdens from a 60 cent federal gasoline tax increase. In order to address unobserved consumer heterogeneity, we employ a parametric adaptation of...

While shale gas development can result in rapid local economic development, negative externalities associated with the process may adversely affect the prices of nearby homes. We utilize a difference-in-differences estimator with additional controls for house fixed effects and the boundary of...

Using data from Pennsylvania and New York and an array of empirical techniques to control for confounding factors, we recover hedonic estimates of property value impacts from shale gas development that vary with geographic scale, water source, well productivity, and visibility. Results indicate...
