Abstract

ABSTRACT This study analyses the demand for automobile travel in the United States, Japan, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the United Kingdom. The influence of the transportation infrastructure and land use patterns on automobile travel is estimated by including an index of rail kilometers per capita, road kilometers per capita, urbanization, and population density. A pooled double‐log model with the assumption of full cross‐sectional correlation and timewise autoregression is tested with a new international data set. While the assumption of constant elasticities across countries is rejected, automobile travel demand is found to be price and income inelastic in all of the countries in the study.
