dc.description.abstractThis paper studies a model of car replacement designed to evaluate policies addressed to influence replacement decisions. An aggregate hazard function is computed from optimal replacement rules of heterogeneous consumers, which mimics the hump—shaped hazard function observed for the Spanish car market. The model is calibrated to evaluate quantitatively the Plan Prever, a replacement scheme introduced in Spain in 1997, finding that the positive effect of the subsidy is high in the short run but small in the long run for both sales and the average age of the stock.
dc.description.abstractPresentamos un modelo de reemplazo de automóviles para analizar políticas que influyen en las decisiones de reemplazo. Partiendo de decisiones individuales de reemplazo y considerando consumidores heterogéneos, computamos una tasa de fallo agregada que reproduce la observada para los coches en España, con forma de U invertida. Calibramos el modelo para cuantificar el Plan Prever, un programa de subsidios al reemplazo introducido en España en 1997. Encontramos que las ventas aumentan considerablemente en el corto plazo pero, en el largo plazo, son escasos tanto el aumento en las ventas como la reducción en la edad media del parque.
