Trade liberalization and labor demand elasticities : 14 evidence from Turkey
22 In the recent debate over the impact of trade reform on factor markets, it has been argued 23 that trade liberalization will lead to an increase in labor-demand elasticities — thus placing 24 labor markets under increased pressure. Using Turkish plant-level data spanning the course 25 of a dramatic trade liberalization, we test this idea. However, we are unable to find any 26 empirical suppo...
متن کاملDemand Elasticities for Highway Travel
An elasticity summarizes a large amount of information in a single number. Levels and distribution of incomes, price levels of the specific good and of substitute and complementary goods, preferences and tastes, transaction costs, etc., can, ceteris paribus, affect the measured value of any particular demand-price elasticity. The elasticity concept normalizes for the measurement scales (e.g., p...
متن کاملElasticities of Demand for Consumer Credit
The price elasticity of demand for credit has major implications for macroeconomics, finance, and development. We present estimates of this parameter derived from a randomized trial. The experiment was implemented by a consumer microfinance lender in South Africa and identifies demand curves that, while downward-sloping with respect to price, are flatter than recent estimates in both developing...
متن کاملOpenness Is a Matter of Degree: How Trade Costs Reduce Demand Elasticities
The relative costs of trading different goods vary independently of the relative costs of producing them. The costs of trade are also often high. As a result, producer price elasticities of demand in economies that trade are usually much lower than purchaser price elasticities. Trade costs could thus explain why cross-country variation in the composition of output is much less sensitive to vari...

These elasticities turn out to be negatively related to protection levels that vary across industries and over time. Furthermore, we find that these elasticities are not only higher for Indian states with more flexible lab...
