Die Meta-Analyse (aller Paper zu price elasticity of demand) sagt:
Surprisingly, it is found
that European passengers are not more price sensitive
than US passengers and Australian passengers, while
one would expect that the availability of more sub-
stitutes in Europe would result in a higher price
sensitivity within Europe.
Nicht wirklich ueberraschend ist:
Long-run price elasticities are
higher in absolute value, as was to be expected from a
theoretical point of view. Hence, basing long-run policy
instruments on short-run elasticities leads to distortions.
Passengers become more price sensitive over time; this
also needs to be acknowledged in the design of long-run
policy instruments. Business passengers are less sensitive
to price; this is a common finding in the literature. The
difference is about 0.6, ceteris paribus.
