In order to evaluate the precise market impact of tax changes, Frontier Economics conducted the analysis of the price sensitivity of demand for mobile services in developing countries. The methodological approach and elasticity estimates are described in the Frontier methodology appendix that follows. This paper presents Frontier Economics' estimates of the elasticity of demand for mobile services in developing countries. The results presented in this paper are based on data provided by all research partners, including Pyramid Research and Tarifica, as part of a project by the GSMA looking into taxation of mobile services in developing countries.
