By means of a meta-analysis, this article sets out to estimate average values for the income and price elasticities of gasoline demand and to analyse the reasons for the variations in the elasticities reported by the literature. The findings show that there is publication bias, that the volatility of elasticity estimates is not due to sampling errors alone, and that there are systematic factors explaining these differences. The income and price elasticities of gasoline demand differ between the short and long run and by region, and the estimation can appropriately include the vehicle fleet and…
El objetivo de este artículo es estimar, mediante un meta-análisis, el valor promedio de
las elasticidades ingreso y precio de la demanda de gasolinas y analizar las causas de

no se debe exclusivamente a errores de muestreo y que existen factores sistemáticos que
explican estas diferencias. Las elasticidades ingreso y precio de la demanda de gasolinas
