Title: An Analysis of the Short-Run Consumer Demand for Gasoline Using Household Survey Data
Abstract: 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)
