The price elasticity of energy demand. The state of affairs in 1998

Creators

Description

Within the framework of further development of energy taxes it is important to investigate the validity of the present tools by means of which the effects of energy taxes can be predicted. The estimation of the price elasticity of the energy consumption is an important aspect in the use of those tools. The results of a 1990 study on the possible effects of an energy tax are re-evaluated, based on a state-of-the-art of theoretical and empirical economic science with respect to elasticities. Also attention is paid to how the elasticities, as applied in relevant energy models, must be assessed. 43 refs
