Analysis of Price and Income Elasticities of Energy Demand in Ecuador: A Dynamic OLS Approach
Energy consumption in Ecuador has increased significantly during the last decades, affecting negatively the financial position of the country since large energy consumption subsidies are provided in its internal market and Ecuador is mostly a crude oil exporter and oil derivatives importer country. This research seeks to state the long run price and income elasticities of energy demand in Ecuador, by analyzing information spanning the period from 1970 to 2015. A cointegration analysis and an estimation by using a Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares approach considering structural breaks is carried out. Results obtained are robust and suggest that in the long run energy demand in Ecuador is highly income elastic, has no relationship with its price and has an almost unitary but inverse relationship with the industrial production level. Conclusions and economic policy suggestions are also provided.

Policy evaluation of waste pricing programs using heterogeneous causal effect estimation
Using machine learning methods in a quasi-experimental setting, I study the heterogeneous effects of introducing waste prices - unit prices on household unsorted waste disposal on - waste demands, municipal costs and pol…
ManagementOn estimating Armington elasticities for Japan's meat imports
By fully accounting for the distinct tariff regimes levied on imported meat, we estimate substitution elasticities of Japan's two-stage import aggregation functions for beef, chicken and pork. While the regression analys…
regressionGlobal evidence on the income elasticity of willingness to pay, relative price changes and public natural capital values
While the global economy continues to grow, ecosystem services tend to stagnate or decline. Economic theory has shown how such shifts in relative scarcities can be reflected in project appraisal and accounting, but empir…
Monetary Incentives, Landowner Preferences: Estimating Cross-Elasticities in Farmland Conversion to Renewable Energy
This study examines the impact of monetary factors on the conversion of farmland to renewable energy generation, specifically solar and wind, in the context of expanding U.S. energy production. We propose a new econometr…
