摘要: Abstract Focusing on dynamics of the relative prices substitute fuels, namely ethanol and gasoline, this study quantifies impact increase in shares flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs) vehicle fleet domestic Brazil. A modified partial adjustment model is employed. Estimation results provide strong support for our research hypotheses: (i) when consumers can choose between fuels gasoline converge to a long-run equilibrium level, which determined by fuel economy, (ii) price are largely market supply demand factors including sugar, exports, composition fleet. Furthermore, impacts such as exports strengthened increasing proportion FFVs
