An Empirical Analysis of Urban Form, Transport, and Global Warming
研究了城市密度如何影响通勤行为和二氧化碳排放，使用工具变量方法处理居住地选择的内生性问题，分解了出行需求中的模式选择和通勤距离。
Does urban form affect travel choices and thus C02 emissions by individuals? If this is the case, then urban form and policies that influence it deserve serious attention in the context of long-term climate policy. To address this issue, we examine the impact of urban density on commuting behavior, and the consequences for C02 emissions. The empirical investigation is based on an instrumental variable approach (IV), so as to take account of endogeneity of residence location. We decompose travel demand into components related to modal split and commuting distance by each mode.
