Automobile Ownership and Use in Neotraditional and Conventional Neighborhoods

open access: yesTransportation Research Record, 2005
Although the commonly accepted link between automobile ownership and automobile use has inspired some municipalities to experiment with neighborhood design in an attempt to influence both automobile ownership and travel behavior, the underlying relationship between neighborhood design and automobile ownership is still unclear.

Automobile Ownership, Households Without Automobiles, and Urban Traffic Parameters: Are They Related?

open access: yesTransportation Research Record, 2002
Most research to date on automobile ownership has concentrated on establishing links between various socioeconomic factors and automobile ownership, without much regard to urban traffic parameters that may affect ownership rates. To address the issue of the effect of traffic parameters on ownership rates, the study takes a twofold approach.

Effects of automobile ownership on e-scooter choices: The Istanbul case

open access: yesCities
E-scooters have gained momentum as a micromobility mode for several years, which created the need for research to understand the attitudes toward it. However, to the authors' knowledge, there is a research gap regarding the effects of private automobile ownership on the e-scooter choices of individuals under different traffic conditions, a factor that ...

Traditional Neighborhoods and Automobile Ownership

open access: yesTransportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2002
Many cities have traditional neighborhoods composed of diverse housing, mixed land uses, pedestrian connectivity, and convenient transit access. The effects of these types of land use patterns on automobile ownership are quantified. Using Portland, Oregon, a model is tested that explains automobile ownership on the basis of household, neighborhood, and

Locational factors in automobile ownership decisions

Annals of Regional Science, 1973
An economic utility theory model specifying automobile ownership decision-making in terms of intra-urban locational factors is presented. The long-range objective of the research is to provide an improvement in urban transportation planners' understanding of the relationships between automobile ownership by families residing within urban environments ...

Automobile Ownership Analysis Using Ordered Probit Models

open access: yesTransportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2002
A mathematical model developed to predict automobile ownership for individual households residing in New York City is presented. This effort is distinguished from previous disaggregate household-level automobile ownership models primarily by the use of ordered probit models rather than the commonly used multinominal logit (MNL) and sequential logit (SL)

Partial Ownership Arrangements and Collusion in the Automobile Industry

Journal of Industrial Economics, 1997
This paper develops a conjectural variation model that allows for partial ownership arrangements and foreign trade. This model is applied to the Japanese and US automobile industries. Although collusion is found to occur in the Japanese automobile industry, it is found to be more competitive than the US automobile industry.
