State-of-the-art of Longitudinal Travel Surveys - A Comparison of the MOP and MPN

De Haas, Mathijs (author), Ecke, Lisa (author), Chlond, Bastian (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Vortisch, Peter (author)

Longitudinal travel surveys are needed to capture individual travel behaviour changes. Only two longitudinal tavel surveys of national relevance are currently in operation, the German Mobility Panel (MOP) since 1994 and the Netherlands Mobility Panel (MPN) since 2013. This paper provides an overview of both panels' differences and...

Exploring attitude-behaviour dynamics during COVID-19: How fear of infection and working from home influence train use and the attitude toward this mode

Kroesen, M. (author), De Vos, Jonas (author), Le, Huyen T.K. (author), Ton, Danique (author)

Research on the relationships between travel-related attitudes and travel behaviour has recently been reinvigorated by new theorizing as well as new empirical models. While traditional theories assume a rather static role of attitudes, i.e. acting as stable predispositions that cause behaviours in a unidirectional manner, recent models assume...

Revealing latent trajectories of (intended) train travel during and after COVID-19

Kroesen, M. (author), Le, Huyen T.K. (author), De Vos, Jonas (author), Ton, Danique (author), de Bruyn, Menno (author)

This study investigates whether the decline in public transit ridership is a temporary phenomenon or indicative of a structural shift in travel patterns and attitudes. We estimate a latent class trajectory model using data from a comprehensive and large-scale survey administered by the Dutch national train operator conducted at eight...

Longitudinal Studies in Travel Behaviour Research

de Haas, M.C. (author)

Mobility is an important part of daily life. With modern mobility systems, people have access to a range of transport modes allowing them to basically reach any destination they want. Although people often have multiple options to choose from, personal mobility is dominated by motorized road transport in many countries and cities, also in the...

Working from home during the corona-crisis is associated with higher subjective well-being for women with long (pre-corona) commutes

Kroesen, M. (author)

Much research has been devoted to assessing the effect of commute duration on the subjective well-being of people, but as of yet, the respective body or research has been inconclusive as to whether there is indeed a (large) negative effect or not. To control the spread of COVID-19 governments around the world have taken unprecedented measures to...

Causal relations between body-mass index, self-rated health and active travel: An empirical study based on longitudinal data

de Haas, M.C. (author), Kroesen, M. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author), Hoogendoorn-Lanser, S. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)

Introduction: It has been estimated that physical inactivity accounts for roughly 10% of premature mortality globally in any given year. Active travel (walking and cycling) has been promoted as an effective means to stimulate physical activity. However, many of the available studies on the relation between active travel and health are based...

Longitudinal macro-analysis of car-use changes resulting from a TOD-type project: The case of Metro do Porto (Portugal)

Ibraeva, Anna (author), van Wee, G.P. (author), Correia, Gonçalo (author), Pais Antunes, António (author)

Transit-oriented development has been widely studied in recent years as a means to reduce car trips and promote sustainable transport modes. However, longitudinal studies on the matter are still rare. This paper contributes to longitudinal research of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) effects on travel behavior by analyzing the evolution of...

Erasing Blind Spots: A data-driven evaluation of model overrides in case of corporate events

Steenbergen, Randy (author)

Currently, quantitative asset pricing models are often not equipped to deal with merger and acquisition events. In such cases, portfolio managers make the assumption that the model is not working and they override its decisions for an entire year. This thesis studies the performance of quantitative models after these events and provides research...

Does active travel make people healthier, or are healthy people more inclined to travel actively?

Kroesen, M. (author), De Vos, Jonas (author)

Introduction: Active travel (walking and cycling) is increasingly being recognised as a potentially effective means of increasing physical activity levels and thereby contribute to physical and mental health. To date, however, much of the empirical evidence related to the health benefits of active travel is based on cross-sectional data. As...

Missing-data handling methods for lifelogs-based wellness index estimation: Comparative analysis with panel data

Kim, K. (author), KIM, K.J. (author)

Background: A lifelogs-based wellness index (LWI) is a function for calculating wellness scores based on health behavior lifelogs (eg, daily walking steps and sleep times collected via a smartwatch). A wellness score intuitively shows the users of smart wellness services the overall condition of their health behaviors. LWI development...

Expert forecasting with and without uncertainty quantification and weighting: What do the data say?

Cooke, R.M. (author), Marti, Deniz (author), Mazzuchi, Thomas (author)

Post-2006 expert judgment data has been extended to 530 experts assessing 580 calibration variables from their fields. New analysis shows that point predictions as medians of combined expert distributions outperform combined medians, and medians of performance weighted combinations outperform medians of equal weighted combinations. Relative...

A battle of pooled and panel data in credit risk modelling

Michael, Gavriella (author)

When dealing with datasets where the observations are obtained from the same cross-sectional units at multiple time points, most of the times, heterogeneity arises across he cross-sectional units. If one ignores this heterogeneity, assuming that the data are pooled, the parameters estimations run the risk of being inconsistent. This thesis...

Vacations Over the Years: A Cross-Lagged Panel Analysis of Tourism Experiences and Subjective Well-Being in the Netherlands

Mitas, Ondrej (author), Kroesen, M. (author)

Tourism experiences, also called vacations, are known to boost subjective well-being, although it has been argued that the effects are primarily affective in nature and short-lived. We argue that this is a methodological artifact due to the brief duration—1 year or less—of almost all extant longitudinal studies of tourism experience effects....

Efficient Inference with Panel Data: On the pass-through of the Dutch 2001 and 2012 VAT increases to consumer prices

van Hooft, George (author)

This thesis evaluates the pass-through of the 2001 and 2012 Dutch Value Added Tax (VAT) increases to customer prices using a difference-in-differences model. To this end, the first difference and feasible generalised least squares estimators are introduced. Contrary to the conventional pooled OLS estimator, these estimators always show...

Bayesian estimator for Logit Mixtures with inter- and intra-consumer heterogeneity

Becker, Felix (author), Danaf, Mazen (author), Song, Xiang (author), Atasoy, B. (author), Ben-Akiva, Moshe (author)

Estimating discrete choice models on panel data allows for the estimation of preference heterogeneity in the sample. While the Logit Mixture model with random parameters is mostly used to account for variation across individuals, preferences may also vary across different choice situations of the same individual. Up to this point, Logit...

Revealing transition patterns between mono-and multimodal travel patterns over time: A mover-stayer model

Kroesen, M. (author), van Cranenburgh, S. (author)

Recent empirical evidence suggests that travellers are becoming increasingly multimodal. Coinciding with this trend, a growing interest can be observed in the transport literature to study the concept of multimodality. Most studies, in this regard, have focused on assessing the determinants of multimodal travel behaviour. While it is...

Testing the ‘residential rootedness’ hypothesis of self-employment for Germany and the UK

Reuschke, D. (author), Van Ham, M. (author)

The work on this paper was funded by a Marie Curie grant from the European Commission within the 7th Framework Program (ID 252752). Based on the notion that entrepreneurship is a ‘local event’, the literature argues that entrepreneurs are ‘rooted’ in place. This paper tests the ‘residential rootedness’ hypothesis of self-employment by examining...
