Abstract
This study forecasts the impact of fuel price policy on the diesel car demand after the permission of domestic sales, using a conjoint analysis based on the stated preference survey from 500 respondents in Seoul and 324 respondents in Ulsan, Korea. The estimation results show that the fuel price elasticity is -0.631 and -0.645 for diesel cars in Seoul and Ulsan, respectively and the elasticity of purchase price are -1.332 and -1.058 for diesel cars in Seoul and Ulsan, respectively. The estimates of the diesel price elasticity indicate that the government planned fuel policy increasing diesel price from the current 70% to 85% of petrol price will decrease the demand for diesel cars by 13.8% to 23.4% when the petrol price is kept at the current price. The estimate of the purchase price elasticity denotes that the obligation of pollutantreducing equipment on diesel cars (about 10% of the sales price) will reduce the demand for diesel cars by 13.3% to 14.7%.
