Summary: Understanding the driving behavior of multi-car households is crucial for evaluating policies to reduce fuel consumption. The research found that households adjust their driving miles among different cars in response to changes in fuel prices, but there is little overall substitution observed. However, a pronounced substitution towards the most fuel-efficient car occurs when there is a large and sustained increase in gas price.

Summary: This paper analyzes the heterogeneity in fuel price elasticities among German households for different socio-economic and regional characteristics using a pooled OLS model estimated on a German refuelling diary data set. The results contradict the existing literature and provide important insights for policy modellers in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions in road transport.

Summary: Mathematical modelling is used to analyze the impact of demand response programs on electricity market, with a focus on price elasticity and customer participation. The proposed models integrate analytical and stochastic elasticity approaches to simulate load flexibility and accurately model customer behavior.

Summary: This study analyzes the substitution effect and rebound effect of energy consumption in China's agricultural sector. It finds that the own-price elasticity of energy, labor and capital in the agricultural sector is low, suggesting the need for price adjustments to achieve energy-saving goals. Additionally, the study indicates that relying on technological progress to improve energy efficiency can only achieve partial energy saving effects, and calls for accelerating agricultural market-oriented reform and optimizing energy structure.

Summary: This paper compares three methods to reduce endogeneity bias and finds that the instrumental variable method performs better in reducing the bias and controlling for measurement errors. However, it still assumes no impact of price changes on quality and requires the identification of suitable instruments.

Summary: This study examined the price elasticity of medicine demand in different therapeutic drug categories and types in China, finding variations in elasticity across drug categories and the impact of quality differences, unfair competition, and illegal rebates on price elasticity. The results showed that anti-tumor and CVD drugs had the least elasticity, while antimicrobial drugs had the most elasticity. This study highlights the role of disease type and drug quality in shaping price elasticity in the Chinese medicine market.

Summary: This paper estimates the price and income elasticity coefficients of domestic electricity demand in South Africa from 1980 to 2018. It finds that electricity consumption was unresponsive to price changes when real electricity prices were falling, but the price elasticity coefficient increased markedly when real prices started increasing. Policymakers should take note that aggregate price sensitivity is notably higher when real prices are increasing, potentially leading consumers to switch to alternative energy sources.

Summary: This study estimates the elasticities of substitution and own-price elasticity of industrial water demand in Chile using a system of demand for inputs and productive factors. The results show that the elasticity of industrial water demand is unity but not statistically significant in most subsectors. The wood and paper industry subsector has an elastic water demand (-2.2) that is statistically significant. Additionally, the obtained elasticities of substitution are very low, indicating that water is an essential resource that is difficult to replace.

Summary: The study reveals that the shadow price of management is around 1.3 million US dollars, and it is a strong dual complement for capital but a weak dual complement for labor. While most firms use too little management, the relative use of management improves over time with the combination of ownership, control, and competition.

Summary: The study found that households with heavy water usage are more price sensitive in the residential water market, and price elasticity is not related to household wealth, suggesting that price-based rationing can be an effective tool in reducing water usage.

Summary: The Chinese government has implemented policies to save energy and electricity in the chemical industry through technological improvements and electricity market reforms. By analyzing the rebound effect using the Morishima Elasticity of Substitution of the electricity cost share equation estimated by the DOLS method, it is found that the rebound effect is significant in the Chinese chemical industry, largely due to government control of electricity prices. However, the reform of the electricity market can reduce the rebound effect to some extent. Policy implications are provided to enhance energy efficiency and electricity pricing mechanism in order to succeed in saving electricity and decreasing the rebound effect in the chemical industry.

Summary: The income and price elasticities of oil demand are crucial for policy making. However, there has been limited research on the elasticities of consumption-based oil demand. This study quantifies the oil footprint of 49 countries/regions and estimates the elasticities using a panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag model. The results reveal hidden oil connections among countries in non-oil trade and highlight the importance of paying attention to the surge in oil demand embodied in construction, manufactured products, and services.

Summary: This paper explores the determinants of residential electricity demand in South Africa from 1975 to 2016, finding long-run cointegration between electricity consumption, disposable income, electricity prices, and food prices. It also reveals a substitution relationship between food and electricity for all income groups in South African households.

Summary: This article presents an adaptive economic DR framework using a dynamic elasticity approach to model customer's demand sensitivity. The framework considers load recovery for shiftable/flexible loads to be adaptive and adjustable relative to price variation. The proposed mathematical model aims to achieve factual DR by determining the customers' elasticity value.

Summary: The implementation of T21 policy in Hawaii led to a significant decrease in cigarette sales and menthol market share, as well as a reduction in large cigar/cigarillo sales. However, T21 policies in California and the US mainland did not show similar effects. The findings suggest that T21 laws may help reduce sales of tobacco products preferred by youth and young adults.

Summary: The National Panel of Tobacco Consumer Studies (TCS Panel) is a research panel developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to conduct studies on tobacco users and inform tobacco regulatory activities. The panel is composed of approximately 4,000 adult cigarette, cigar, and smokeless tobacco users. The methods and characteristics of the panel are described in this paper, and it is found that the panel is representative of U.S. tobacco users with few differences observed in certain demographic characteristics.

Summary: In 2020, an estimated 11.0% of US adults who use tobacco received free samples of tobacco products, with similar proportions for cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, and e-cigarettes. Approximately 60.0% of free sample recipients used the samples, and 68.1% of those who used samples were likely to purchase the product. More than half received free samples on multiple occasions in the past 12 months, mostly at retail outlets and tobacco specialty stores.
