We measure the causal effects of income and wealth on the demand for private-label products. Prior research suggests … that these effects are large and, in particular, that private-label demand rises during recessions. Our empirical analysis … effects consistent with a consumer demand model based on utility maximization. We establish a precisely measured negative …

Economic theory suggests that demand is more elastic in the long run relative to the short run, but evidence on the … empirical relevance of this phenomenon is scarce. We study the dynamics of residential electricity demand by exploiting price …

estimates of the price elasticity of demand for health care, and suggest that high deductible health plans may be less effective …

Daily city-level expenditures and prices are used to estimate the price responsiveness of gasoline demand in the U ….S. Using a frequency of purchase model that explicitly acknowledges the distinction between gasoline demand and gasoline … expenditures, we consistently find the price elasticity of demand to be an order of magnitude larger than estimates from recent …
