An Analysis of the Short-Run Consumer Demand for Gasoline Using Household Survey Data
利用1972-1973年消费者支出调查数据，分析汽油短期需求，发现价格弹性为-0.43，对研究能源政策与家庭消费行为有参考价值。
A short-run analysis of consumer demand for gasoline for nonbusiness automobile use estimates demand on the basis of a Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics during 1972-1973. The use of pooled time-series/cross-section data permits the examination of effects of location, family characteristics, and household automobile stock as well as prices and household income. The results show that gasoline price increases will constrain demand, with price elasticity of -0.43 for both one-car and multi-car households. 8 references, 2 tables. (DCK)
