Per Capita Income, Consumption Patterns, and Co2 Emissions

Caron, Justin - 2018

This paper investigates the role of income-driven differences in consumption patterns in explaining and projecting energy demand and CO2 emissions. We develop and estimate a general-equilibrium model with non-homothetic preferences across a large set of countries and sectors, and trace embodied...

Peak and Off-Peak Demand for Electricity : Subsistence Levels and Price Elasticities

Brännlund, Runar - 2018

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...

The Income Elasticity of Global Values of a Statistical Life : Stated Preference Evidence

Masterman, Clayton - 2018

Examination of estimates of the income elasticity of the value of a statistical life based on international stated preference studies yields an average between 0.94 and 1.05 overall and 0.65 and 0.80 after controlling for covariates. Quantile regression estimates indicate that the income...

Income Elasticity of Demand Versus Income Elasticity of Consumption

Ghoddusi, Hamed - 2018

sufficiently inelastic, extending the individual level estimates of the income elasticity of demand to aggregate values can produce … elasticity of demand, with the difference depending on the shapes of both the demand and supply functions. We show if supply is … the income elasticity of consumption for a good in a specific market (the observable quantity) and the income elasticity …

The kink and notch bunching estimators cannot identify the taxable income elasticity

Blomquist, Nils Sören; Newey, Whitney K. - 2018

Bunching estimators were developed and extended by Saez (2010), Chetty et al. (2011) and Kleven and Waseem (2013). Using this method one can get an estimate of the taxable income elasticity from the bunching pattern around a kink point. The bunching estimator has become popular, with a large...

Price Elasticity of Gasoline Smuggling : A Semi-Structural Estimation Approach

Ghoddusi, Hamed - 2018

We estimate the price elasticity of the demand for gasoline smuggling in Iran. For this purpose, we employ a detailed panel of monthly gasoline consumption data from 160 distribution hubs during the period 2005-2014. We apply two different approaches which are diff-in-diff and panel data...
