Most of the previous studies use the very common classes of time series methods that are the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models. We advance the analytical framework to include a vector error-correction (VEC) regression technique that overcomes several limitations of ARIMA models. We find that long-run gasoline price elasticity to VMT ranges from -0.31 to -0.88, and income elasticity ranges from 0.18 to 0.49.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/207734}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.207734}, }
