4.22 Micro-simulation of local residential
telephone demand Under alternative service
options and rate structures

Abstract:  We present a model of local telephone
demand, emphasizing the use of the model in
forecasting.  We draw from a previous paper
(Train, et al 1987) in describing the
specification and estimation of the model.  The
current paper extends the previous one by
describing a method for forecasting with the
model and appplying the method to examine
changes in service offering and tariffs.
