Abstract
In this paper we revisit the wholesale and retail gasoline price adjustments to fluctuations in the input cost prices for a monthly panel dataset of 48 U.S. states over the period 1994 to 2011. In doing so, we employ non-linear semiparametric models with local Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimators. Our findings indicate that wholesale and retail gasoline prices adjust more rapidly in an upward than a downward direction, confirming the “rockets and feathers” hypothesis.
