Drawing on the 2009 and 2017 waves of the National Household Transportation Survey, this paper models the determinants of vehicle miles traveled, with the aim of parameterizing the magnitude of the fuel price elasticity. To capture changes in this magnitude over the two years of the survey, our...

The time people spend traveling has far reaching implications for their health and for environmental outcomes. Urban planning paradigms - such as that of the '15-minute city' - have consequently endeavoured to bring key services and amenities to residents within a walkable or cycleable...

Despite steady increases in fuel economy, CO2 emissions from road transportation in Germany are on the rise, increasing by nearly 4% since 2009. This study analyzes the impact of different policy levers for bucking this trend, focusing specifically on the role of fuel prices and features of the...

Drawing on the 2009 and 2017 waves of the National Household Transportation Survey, this paper is concerned with modeling the fuel price elasticity, allowing for differential estimates in its magnitude over time and across households. We find a small but statistically significant mean elasticity...
