It presents the results of follow-up analysis of the 2011 OECD Survey on Environmental Policy and Individual Behaviour Change (EPIC) survey where econometric techniques are applied. The report complements the overview of the survey data provided...

We analyse the general equilibrium effects of an asymmetric decrease in transport costs, combining a large scale spatial dynamic general equilibrium model for 267 European NUTS 2 regions with a detailed transport model at the level of individual road segments. As a case study we consider the...

Road transportation accounts for most of the freight transportation in the EU, with trucks responsible for 71.3 percent of all inland EU freight movements. The trucking industry in the EU is facing several challenges and Selfdriving Trucks (SDTs) seem to be a promising solution to its problems....

Natural disasters cause economic damages and may exacerbate disparities in income distribution among countries across the globe. This article employs satellite data on real-time active fire locations to evaluate the short-term impact of forest fires on economic inequality around the world. Using...

Using commuting data for Brisbane, Australia, we find that accounting for measurement error in travel times causes the magnitude of parameters in mode and location choice models to increase approximately three-fold and 30-40%, respectively. Errors appear to be somewhat systematic, with travel...

This study analyses the behavioural response of travellers on a temporal reduction of public transport prices in Germany through the so-called 9 Euro Ticket during summer 2022. The focus is on the inertia effect, e.g. the resistance to change behaviour, on people's travel mode decisions for...
