Abstract

This chapter focuses on the analysis of cross-sectional regression, which conceptualizes travel behavior as influenced by both socioeconomic and constructed environment elements. Using observed cross-sectional data, such regression analysis assesses the association between independent variables and travel behavior. Complementary methods are crucial for obtaining unbiased estimators, and both instrumental variable and propensity score matching methods have been widely utilized in transportation research.
