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 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 ...
In recent years, problems associated with automobile use have led to a marked shift in the orientation of transportation policy towards the promotion of more sustainable modes of transport. Central to this policy has been ...
A new method is presented to determine the mode shapes and frequencies of uniform systems consisting of chains of masses and springs of arbitrary number with arbitrary boundary conditions. Instead of the classical eigenproblem ...
This paper extends the widely used ordered choice model by introducing stochastic
thresholds and interval-specific outcomes. The model can be interpreted as a generalization of the GAFT (MPH) framework for discrete duration ...
In implementation theory it is common to consider social choice functions that map to lotteries over outcomes. For example, virtual implementation has been used widely with social choice functions that involve randomization. ...
Ambient Exercise refers to the implicit exercise that people undertake in the course of their everyday duties - a simple example being climbing stairs. Increasing awareness of the potential health benefits of such activities ...
Enabling intuitive interaction in system design remains an art more than a science. This difficulty is exacerbated when the diversity of device and end user group is considered. In this paper, it is argued that conventional ...
Structures include elements designated as load bearing and non-load bearing. While non-load bearing elements, such as facades and internal partitions, are acknowledged to add mass to the system, the structural stiffness ...

I show a simple back-of-the-envelope method for calculating marginal effects in binary
choice and count data models. The approach suggested here focuses attention on
marginal effects at different points in the distribution ...
