This paper revisits the notion of random commuting within the excess commuting framework. In doing so, it argues that the average random commute, is a more appropriate basis for measuring the efficiency of urban commuting ...
This paper reports results from research conducted to analyse the extent of excess commuting in Dublin, Ireland. The research differs from similar studies on excess commuting in two ways. First, a disaggregate modal choice ...
The process of residential sprawl and accompanying car dependence has become
irreversible, to the point where the case for further investment in expensive urban

The study examines the perceptions and preferences of passengers on interurban rail and bus and compares the preferences
of passengers on both these modes. This is carried out to identify where passengers feel changes are ...

I argue that in contrast to the literature to date efficiency wage and bargaining
solutions will typically be independent. If the bargained wage satisfies the efficiency
wage constraint efficiency wages are irrelevant. ...
