    Abstract: The aim of this study is to estimate the price elasticity of demand for domestic air travel in Sweden. Using national aggregated data on passenger quantities and fares, price elasticities of demand are estimated with an unbalanced, in terms of stationarity, yet well performing model. The analysis also includes estimates of cross-price elasticities for the main transport substitutes to air travel, rail and road. The robustness of the results is enforced by a primitive division of business and leisure travellers. The results indicate that aggregated demand flr domestic air travel in Sweden is fairly elastic (-0.84) in the short-run and more elastic (-1.13) in the long-run. The robustness test of the model show that leisere travellers, as defined in the data, are more sensitive to price changes than are business travellers. Furthermore, the cross price elasticity between rail and air travel is found to be 0.44.

    Abstract: L'objectif de cet article est de proposer un éclairage théorique neuf sur une problématique déjà ancienne : quelles sont les dynamiques de l'expérience muséale ? Nous proposons de porter un nouveau regard sur la question en mobilisant deux cadres théoriques innovants : la CCT et la théorie des motivations identitaires. Ces cadres théoriques nous conduisent à proposer un modèle de type rôles-ressources illustré par des portraits de jeunes adultes franciliens relatant leurs expériences muséales. L'intérêt majeur de ce modèle est sa focalisation sur les motivations identitaires du visiteur, qui permettent de saisir finement son projet de visite ainsi que les ressources muséales mobilisées pour le mener à bien.
