Estimating demand elasticities of fixed telephony in Brazil

This paper provides estimates of the elasticities of demand for the Brazilian basic plan of local fixed telephony using a cointegration model. We find a long-run price elasticity of –0.24, and an income elasticity of 0.18. These figures are line with other countries' estimates.

Elasticidades da demanda em telefonia fixa

Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio-econmico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em EconomiaO objetivo central deste trabalho é estimar as elasticidades da demanda do Plano Básico da telefonia fixa local, utilizando um modelo de cointegração. Também são mostrados aspectos tarifários e modelos teóricos da demanda por telefonia. Os resultados encontrados são aderentes com a teoria econômica, bem como a estudos realizados em outros países e indicam a baixa elasticidade-preço da demanda por telefonia fixa local
