Elasticity 0.95 −0.09 0.94 −0.24
Breakpoint 0.88 0.12 0.88 0.18
Pmax 0.90 −0.07 0.93 −0.24
Omax 0.48 0.65 0.85 0.34
Intensity −0.14 0.99 −0.02 0.99

Analyses were conducted separately for observed and derived values for Pmax, Omax, and intensity of demand. A criterion of 0.30 was used to determine whether an index significantly loaded on a factor
