Abstract
In recent years there has been a growing number of efforts to model the demand for gasoline and its relationship to the underlying demand for transportation services. Many econometric models have been estimated using temporal data (Ramsey et al. (1975), Dahl (1979) and Tishler (1983)), cross section data (Wheaton (1982)), or pooling (Archibald and Gillingham (1980) and Baltagi and Griffin (1983)). One of the main objectives of these studies has been to determine the gasoline price elasticity; some summary results can be seen in Wheaton (1982) and Dahl (1979).
