Victor D. Norman on Welfare Gains - Dictionary of Arguments

Krugman III 95
Welfare gains/sensitivity analysis/Victor D. Norman: One test concerns initial prices:
a) In the experiments reported above(1), the model is calibrated to an average discount fare of 50 percent of the Euroclass fare.
b) Alternatively, we have carried out calibration and simulations assuming an average discount fare of 30 percent.
The corresponding simulations give slightly higher welfare gains from competition. The reason is that a lower initial tourist-class fare implies a higher elasticity of demand in the tourist-class segment and thus a large efficiency loss from monopoly.

Demand: The order of magnitude of the welfare gains are the same for the loglinear and linear functions.
