AUTOBEZITSMODELLERING: OP PERSOONS- OF HUISHOUDNIVEAU

The decision to buy a car can be modelled either at household level or at a personal level. The increasing participation of women in labour market leads to the idea that the decision to buy a car becomes a more personal one. In this paper this idea is evaluated using probit models. The analyses are limited to households with two partners who each have a drivers license. It appears that personal characteristics such as distance travelled for work, educational level, age and sex influence the probability of having a car. The second person in the household is more likely to be influenced by specific household characteristics. (Author/TRRL)
