The income elasticity of demand in a sub-Saharan African housing market: evidence from Ibadan, Nigeria
The empirical analysis, in which housing is viewed as a composite product, reveals that the demabnd for housing is income inelastic. Specifically, income-elasticity estimates for renters and owners are 0,88 and 0,56, respectively. Furthermore
, these income-elasticity estimates were found to be higher than those reported for other African cities.
The relations between modulus of elasticity and temperature in the context of the experimental simulation of rock weathering by fire
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possible geomorphological significance of fire for rock weathering. The simulation of fire in the laboratory and the monitoring of changes in rock modulus of elasticity, reveal that different rocks
respond differently to heating. It is postulated that the degree of change in elasticity as a result of simulated fire is such that rock outcrops subjected to real fires are likely to be sufficiently modified as to increase their susceptibility to erosion
Partially constrained gravity models for predicting spatial interactions with elastic demand
for this possibility of elastic demand. Circulation data for public libraries in Indianapolis are used to estimate the parameters of these models. The results show the presence of elasticity in the demand for library services.
The Rotterdam model, a complete consumer demand system, was fitted to personal consumption expenditure data for 1949-1977 to study the interaction of consumer expenditures. A full matrix of direct and cross price elasticities and income elasticities
The A. reconsiders the Hotelling duopoly model of 1929, but under elastic demand, more precisely a linear demand function. The equilibrium state for identical firms is fully described, and the intervals of different regimes : independent monopolies
The paper explores clustering in spatial duopoly as elastic demand is allowed. Results indicate that the clustering behavior of sellers is related to the price of the product they sell, the cost to the consumer of acquiring the product
The purpose of this note is to extend the Muth-Brueckner analysis and thereby point out that the Brueckner condition for a negative exponential function implies a zero income elasticity of housing demand when income and price elasticities
Late Quaternary shorelines give evidence of an elastic flexuring of the lithosphere in relation to the volcanic load of Tahiti and Moorea islands. Elastic models are however insufficient to explain all the sea-level data: thermal variations
in the lithosphere near the hot spot of the Society Islands and visco-elastic phenomena are probably also involved. The occurrence of elevated reefs dating from the last Interglacial in Makatea, Anaa and Niau atolls, which are situated on a rim concentric on Tahiti
The impact of dwelling quality and neighbourhood quality on the estimation of the income elasticity of demand for rental housing in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
; assessment of the importance of modulus of elasticity and other factors in affecting durability; and assessment of the use of impulse excitation techniques to monitor changes in rock modulus of elasticity. The rocks showed a wide spectrum of durabilities.
