This question is justified on the basis that the study of car ownership has traditionally been dominated by cross-sect... Read More about Understanding how household car ownership changes over time.

Exploring the interactions between life events, neighbourhood choice and car ownership transitions: Insights from a retrospective longitudinal survey (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A great deal has been written about the factors associated with cross-sectional variations in household car ownership. For example, observing that car ownership levels tend to increase with increasing distance from urban centres. However, much less h...
