Comparison of Elasticity Estimates of Previous Studies with Current Study (HHS)
| Study (Year) | Own Price Elasticity Estimate |
|---|---|
| Wertz (1976) | – 0.15 |
| Jenkins (1993) | – 0.12 |
| Morris and Holthausen (1994) | – 0.15 to – 0.60 |
| Fullerton and Kinnaman (1996) | – 0.08 |
| Podolsky and Spiegel (1998) | – 0.39 |
| Van Houtven and Morris (1999) | – 0.26 |
| Kinnaman and Fullerton (2000) | – 0.28 |
| HHS (all towns) (2010) | – 0.10 |
| HHS (PAYT towns only) (2010) | – 1.31 |
| HHS (PAYT towns, corrected for sample selection) (2010) | – 1.35 |
Note: HHS price elasticities are computed at the means of Price15g that are $0.689 and $0.107 for PAYT towns and all towns, respectively. HHS, Huang, Halstead, Saunders; PAYT, pay as you throw.
