CAR DEMAND MODELLING AND FORECASTING. A NEW APPROACH. IN: THE AUTOMOBILE

The Swedish National Road Administration's Swedish Road and Traffic Research Institute has developed a forecasting model of car ownership. A new approach was chosen for the model: its chief characteristics are that car ownership entry propensity is introduced as the primary dependent variable; and that cross-section analysis and longitudinal cohort analysis have been combined to make maximum use of empirical evidence. This paper presents an English summary of the points that are of most general interest.
