Description
Summary:碩士 === 東吳大學 === 經濟學系 === 87 ===   In this study we model the demand for local telephone traffic in Taiwan.We make use of a standard theoretical framework that incorporates the special characteristics of this type of telephone service. Consequently, an equation for real expenditure is estimated . We use monthly datafor the period 1977 - 1997 , and employ cointegration techniques to obtain a long run equation. We conclude that elasticities agree with previous findings and could be used for analyzing the revenue effects of changes in tariffs . Moreover the model is used to estimate the increase in social welfare that would result frome a tariff rebalancing .
