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 … among the multiple vehicles in each household. We estimate average price elasticities of demand for gasoline at -0.74, and …

Least-squares estimates of the response of gasoline consumption to a change in the gasoline price are biased toward … zero, given the endogeneity of gasoline prices. A seemingly natural solution to this problem is to instrument for gasoline … prices using gasoline taxes, but this approach tends to yield implausibly large price elasticities. We demonstrate that …

Traditional least squares estimates of the responsiveness of gasoline consumption to changes in gasoline prices are … biased toward zero, given the endogeneity of gasoline prices. A seemingly natural solution to this problem is to instrument … for gasoline prices using gasoline taxes, but this approach tends to yield implausibly large price elasticities. We …

The aim of this paper is to identify the path of the gasoline price elasticity, ethanol price elasticity, ethanol-gasoline … cross-price elasticity and the gasoline-ethanol cross-price elasticity for the flex-fuel vehicle market, as well as to … discuss the taxation policies impact of the Economic Domain Intervention Contribution (CIDE) on the ethanol and gasoline …
