Consumer welfare and unobserved heterogeneity in discrete choice models: The value of alpine road tunnels
Cerquera Dussán, Daniel; Ullrich, Hannes - 2010
We investigate the sensitivity of consumer surplus estimates to parametric assumptions on individual preference heterogeneity in a discrete choice framework. We compare results from a parametric random coefficients logit model and a recently proposed nonparametric sieve estimator. In particular,...

Fueling electrification: The impact of gas prices on hybrid car usage
Grigolon, Laura; Park, Eunseong; Remmy, Kevin - 2024
We use micro-level data on fuel consumption, mileage, and travel mode to study plug-in hybrid drivers' response to fuel prices. When fuel prices rise, plug-in hybrids reduce fuel consumption more than gasoline and diesel cars. They do not reduce their mileage but increase electric recharging,...

Can social comparisons and moral appeals increase public transport ridership and decrease car use?
Gessner, Johannes; Habla, Wolfgang; Wagner, Ulrich J. - 2023
In a field experiment with 341 participants, we study whether social comparisons, either in isolation or in combination with a climate-related moral appeal, can change the use of public and car-related transportation. We do so in the context of a mobility budget offered to employees of a large...
