Banfi, Silvia Filippini, Massimo Hunt, Lester C. 2005 This paper explores the issue of ‘fuel tourism’ in Switzerland. For the period 1985 to 1987, a panel data model for the border regions of Switzerland, (Italy, France, and Germany) is estimated. The results show a significant impact of the gasoline price differential on demand, suggesting that a decrease of 10% in the Swiss gasoline price leads to a reduction in demand in the border areas of nearly 17½%. It is shown that fuel tourism accounted for about 9% of overall gasoline sales in the three regions during the period 1985 to 1997 and that the recently proposed Swiss CO2-tax might, given current conditions, eliminate net fuel tourism. application/pdf https://susi.usi.ch/global/documents/317969 https://n2t.net/ark:/12658/srd1317969 https://susi.usi.ch/documents/317969/files/filippini_EE_2005.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1016/j.eneco.2005.04.006 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/ark/12658/srd1317969 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Energy Economics. - Elsevier BV. - 2005, vol. 27, no. 5, p. 689-707 Fuel Tourism gasoline price differentials panel data estimation info:eu-repo/classification/udc/33 Fuel tourism in border regions : the case of Switzerland http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
