The value of field experiments in estimating demand elasticities and maximizing profit
… experiments than to analyzing sophisticated demand models. However, the practical value of using field experiments to optimize marketing decisions remains relatively unstudied. We investigate category pricing decisions that require estimating a large matrix of cross-product demand …

Spatial Variations in Electricity Demand Elasticities: The Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Demand for Electricity in Substate Regions
In spite of the plentiful research on demand for electricity, little is known about geographic variations in electricity demand relationships. In addition, much of the previous analysis on electricity demand has studied large multistate or national regions and used aggregated data. To reduce t

Development of a theoretical model of the world cocoa industry with long run estimates of the demand elasticities for the United States
… features of the industry. Next, the supply and demand structures are formulated separately. These structures then, are combined to form a complete model of the cocoa economy. With this model as a premise, an attempt to estimate the long run demand elasticities for cocoa in the United States is …

An Econometric Analysis of the Relative Share of Labor, Demand and Cross Demand Elasticities, and Elasticities of Substitution for Inputs: A Case Study in the Chiang Mai Valley
… power and one using tractor power. In addition, demand and cross demand elasticities and elasticities of substitution for inputs are estimated. The estimated model and parameters are used to consider ways of lessening the problem of unequal income distribution and rural unemployment.

Three Essays on Trade Policy and Impacts of Regional Demographic Changes
… paper attempts to calculate the Korean import demand elasticities on a disaggregate level using three approaches-the traditional approach, household maximization approach, and GDP function approach. The traditional approach has no micro-foundations and the household maximization approach has …

Three essays on the demand system
… first essay investigates how scanner data affect demand elasticity estimates and develops methods for scientists to adapt estimated elasticities to analyses of specific policies. We conduct a meta-analysis of U.S. demand elasticities and find evidence that scanner data generate statistically …

Factor substitution in the Irish manufacturing sector.
… specification of a cost function to estimate the elasticities of demand for skilled labour, unskilled labour and capital in the Irish manufacturing sector for the years 1979 to 2005. An understanding of the magnitude of these elasticites can play an important role in developing approrpariate …

Three Essays On Applied General Equilibrium Analysis
… model, estimation of import and export demand elasticities with some general equilibrium (GE) closure rule and formulating a decomposition algorithm for GE models with proper structure. While the questions addressed are somewhat unrelated to each other, the essays involve issues related …

Dynamic Demand and Pricing Strategy in the E-Book Market
… intertemporal price discrimination (IPD). On the demand side, it remains unclear how much of e-book sales come from cannibalizing print books and how much serve as market expansion to the book business. I empirically address these questions using individual-level data from 2008 to 2012. I estimate …

Optimal pricing for national park entrance fees in Zambia
… it then uses to estimate the parks visitation demand functions, the price and income elasticities. Using price elasticity estimates, optimal conservation fees are estimated. The study employs the contingent behaviour approach to elicit park visitors’ behaviour in response to changes in entrance …

Essays on Agricultural and Regional Development
… economy. Chapter 1 applies a three-stage demand system to nationally representative household survey data to identify food demand behavior with an emphasis on food staples in two West Africa countries ‒ Niger and Nigeria. The third stage of the demand system offers demand elasticities of …

Economic incentive for output restrictions in the cobalt market
… framework presented is the magnitude of net demand elasticity faced by a producer considering supply restriction. Elasticities of market demand and competitive supply and the market share of the producer considering supply restriction are derived as the components of net demand elasticity. …

Household fuelwood production and consumption in the Nepal's tarai and mid-hills: an econometric analysis and its policy implications
… and mid-hills. Fuelwood production, supply and demand functions are estimated using market, forest and access, and demographic variables characteristic of each region. Both regional and district level supply and demand elasticities are also estimated with respect to opportunity cost of labor, …

An analytic model of the food consumption behavior of health-conscious individuals
… is proposed. This model yields a system of demands that are functions of prices and outlay as well as the composition of food and limits on the consumption of these components. The structure of this model is examined and restrictions on consumer food demands are derived. The derivation of …

Volatility and Uncertainty in Environmental Policy
… energy markets are characterized by low demand elasticities and kinked supply curves which are very flat below a capacity constraint (elastic) and very steep above it (inelastic). This means that a quantity-based policy that acts on demand, such as releasing additional pollution emission …

Three essays on the idiosyncrasies of a perennial crop : the case of the US almond market
… its exports are sensitive to both the supply and demand in other countries. In the first essay a proposed framework that captures supply idiosyncrasies of perennial crops is developed to estimate the excess demand elasticity for US almonds. Global supply, demand and price transmission elasticities …
