Abstract
This paper delivers a methodology for the identification of the price elasticity of demand. The approach relies on a structural model of consumer behavior wherein demand and expenditure depend on a heterogeneity factor. We show that the structural parameters are not identified in the one-period case. Conversely, in a two-period case, the structural parameters, and thus the price elasticity of demand, are identified for each period.
