Alternative Techniques of Estimating Import Demand Elasticities
T H E desirability as wel l as the difficulty o f obtaining reliable estimates o f import demand elasticities is clearly demonstrated by the extensive literature on the subject during the last few decades. Interest i n price elasticities o f import demand originated in Marshall's [14] discussion o f the possibility o f a devaluation causing a deterioration rather than an improvement in the bala...
متن کاملImport protection, exports and labor-demand elasticities: Evidence from Korea
Available online 8 October 2011 We empirically examine the impact of trade on labor demand elasticities using Korean firmlevel data. In our analysis, in addition to looking at the impact of liberalizing import restrictions, we take into account the fact that greater trade integration also leads to better and greater export possibilities. While we find that Korea's own tariffs do not have any st...
متن کاملEstimating Aggregate Import-Demand Function for Nigeria Revisited
This study estimates the aggregate import demand function for Nigeria for the period of 1980 2010. Cointegration approach was implemented. While the error correction term in the estimated VEC model was evaluated for long run causal relationship, the short term coefficients were gauged for short term causal relationship between the explained and the explanatory variables. Results indicate: (i) t...
متن کاملImport Price - Elasticities : Reconsidering the Evidence
Recent economic geography and trade empirical studies based on monopolistic competition [Hanson, 1998; Head and Ries, 1999; Hummels, 1999], suggest high levels of trade price elasticities (between 3 and 11). However, direct estimations of price-elasticities in trade equations, using price indexes at aggregate or industry levels, usually lead to much lower values (around unity). In this paper, w...
متن کاملDemand Elasticities for Highway Travel
An elasticity summarizes a large amount of information in a single number. Levels and distribution of incomes, price levels of the specific good and of substitute and complementary goods, preferences and tastes, transaction costs, etc., can, ceteris paribus, affect the measured value of any particular demand-price elasticity. The elasticity concept normalizes for the measurement scales (e.g., p...
