Intertemporal Data and Travel Cost Analysis
Hellerstein, Daniel - 2016
This paper considers the use of multi-year data in travel cost analysis. To exploit the information embedded within intertemporal data, two broad approaches are examined: multiple year cross sections and panel models. Multiple year cross sections can be used to detect trends, and to test for...
