Accelerating Car Scrappage: A Review of Research into the Environmental Impacts

“…• Dill (2004) is a review paper on the methods used to estimate emission reductions from scrappage subsidies. • Yamamoto et al, (2004) focus in terms of outputs on car holding duration, not on emissions.…”

What is responsible for the response lag of a significant change in discretionary time use: the built environment, family and social obligations, temporal constraints, or a psychological delay factor?

“…Due to its capability to capture the dynamics of a process, survival model is being increasingly used in various areas, including housing studies (Sam and Ronald 2003;Tammie and Malpezzi 2006), medical and biometrics studies (Li and Lin 2006;Freda et al 2007;Omariba et al 2007), industrial studies (Xie and Giles 2007), and policy issues (Buhaug 2005). In transportation, survival models have been used to analyze incident duration (Doohee and Fred 2000), commute time (Stefano 2003;Joly 2006), households' automobile holding duration (Yamamoto et al 2004), and vehicle scrappage rates (Chen and Niemeier 2005;Chen and Lin 2006;Lin et al 2008).…”

“…In sum, the collected data can be complete or non-censored, left-censored, right-censored, or left-and right-censored. Most of the existing empirical studies accommodate complete and rightcensored data (e.g., Gilbert 1992;Yamamoto et al 2004). The likelihood of observing a non-censored cell is:…”

“…This can be accomplished by employing a probabilistic survival model to directly estimate the probability that a vehicle will survive for a certain period given such attributes as vehicle age and mileage. Application of survival models includes estimation of the probability that a vehicle will stay in the fleet (Chen and Niemeier 2005;Chen and Lin 2006;Yamamoto et al 2004) or in the household (Gilbert 1992). Alternatively, a vehicle scrappage decision can be captured with a disaggregate vehicle holding model (e.g., Berkovec and Rust 1985) or a disaggregate vehicle type-choice and utilization model (e.g., Mannering and Winston 1985).…”
