Demand modelling of energy and transport incorporate interconnected decision variables, which are either discrete or continuous. After forty years, from McFadden multinomial logit model and incorporating it to Heckman endogenous simultaneous equation, there is an opportunity to determine the parameters of interconnected decisions simultaneously. These models are bounded by the utility theory. Now these models have matured, and their empirical aspects revealed. In this study, the pioneering works on discrete-continuous models that have been developed in the field of energy and transportation have been reviewed with a view of proposing new development to these models. These models theoretically are based on two approaches; McFadden indirect utility function and Gorman polar functional form of utility structures. In both approaches, the models are estimated by maximum likelihood procedures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
