Italy shows a slight sensitivity to price changes compared to its European counterparts, as evidenced by a 13% year-over-year increase in the normalized price-sensitivity score, alongside a 25% decrease in the volatility of that score. These metrics, derived from rolling twelve-month windows, reflect the year-over-year drift and stability of consumer-electronics price elasticity. The estimates are based on a hierarchical mixed-effects model that integrates data across various geographies, resulting in an overall price-effect *p*-value of 0.016. This suggests that pricing strategies in Italy should be carefully calibrated to maintain demand stability.
