The price of gasoline and the demand for fuel economy: evidence from monthly new vehicles sales data
Klier, Thomas H.; Linn, Joshua (2009)
This paper uses a unique data set of monthly new vehicle sales by detailed model from 1978- 2007, and implements a new identification strategy to estimate the effect of the price of gasoline on consumer demand for fuel economy.
