| Description |
This study analyzes the elasticity of demand for cellular phone network access and the network effects in Malaysia by using quarterly data from the period 2003Q1 to 2011Q4 with 7 difference variables in two separate equations. The dependent variable is the penetration rate of cellular phone. From the analysis, we found that the penetration rates of cellular phone are strongly related to the factors that we study and all of the variables are strongly significant and stationary. The F-test also suggested that the entity FEM is more preferred and appropriate model for this study. From the entity FEM analysis, all independent variables are significant. The price elasticity of demand, cross-price elasticity and income elasticity is elastic. The result also shows that the fixed-line is complementary and luxury goods to the cellular phone network in Malaysia and the networks externalities are strongly significant when we used number of subscriber as a proxy.
