A demand responsive bidding mechanism with price elasticity matrix in wholesale electricity pools
… bidding mechanism models demand response with Price Elasticity Matrices (PEM). Under the proposed bidding mechanism, the resultant generation schedules and electricity rates become dependent variable on demand response. This relation gives bidding results that are closer to the actual market …

Factors affecting the gas price elasticity of travel demand : implications for transportation emissions policy
… of two interrelated factors: 1) how high of a price increase is politically feasible to implement, and 2) the degree to which the driving public responds to the higher cost of driving. Both these factors vary over time. Given that carbon pricing and/or higher gas taxes are likely to take years …
