Lalive, Rafael; Luechinger, Simon; Schmutzler, Armin - 2013
Many governments subsidize regional rail service as an alternative to road traffic. This paper assesses whether increases in service frequency reduce road traffic externalities. We exploit differences in service frequency growth by procurement mode following a railway reform in Germany to...

Drive Less, Drive Better, or Both? Behavioral Adjustments to Fuel Price Changes in Germany
Alberini, Anna; Horvath, Marco; Vance, Colin - 2021
The demand for motor fuel should decline when its price rises, but how exactly does that happen? Do people drive less, do they drive more carefully to conserve fuel, or do they do both? To answer these questions, we use data from the German Mobility Panel from 2004 to 2019, taking advantage of...
