Estimating Price Elasticity of Gasoline Demand Using Transaction-Level Data, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Vesal, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Rahmati, Mohammad Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
One of the most widely discussed parameters in energy economics is the price elasticity of gasoline demand due to its substantial implications for taxation, energy efficiency, and environmental policies. This paper aims to estimate the price elasticity of gasoline demand using a novel source of data. The data is from Iran, in the early months of 2014. Vehicles get a quota of 60 liters per month as subsidized gasoline at a lower price. The quota is transferable to the next months if it has not been consumed. All of the information about each pumping transaction is gathered in a centralized database, assigning a unique fuel card to each vehicle. Consequently, the structure of the market provides...
