Examining the Impacts of Residential Self-Selection on Travel Behaviour: A Focus on Empirical Findings
TLDR
In this article, the authors present a review of 38 empirical studies on the extent to which the observed patterns of travel behavior can be attributed to the residential built environment (BE) itself, as opposed to attitude-induced residential self-selection.About:

Travel and the Built Environment
Reid Ewing,Robert Cervero +1 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of the built environment-travel literature existing at the end of 2009 is conducted in order to draw generalizable conclusions for practice, and finds that vehicle miles traveled is most strongly related to measures of accessibility to destinations and secondarily to street network design variables.

The Built Environment and Obesity
Mia A. Papas,Mia A. Papas,Anthony J. Alberg,Anthony J. Alberg,Reid Ewing,Kathy J. Helzlsouer,Kathy J. Helzlsouer,Tiffany L. Gary,Ann C. Klassen +8 more
TL;DR: Given the importance of the physical and social contexts of individual behavior and the limited success of individual-based interventions in long-term obesity prevention, more research on the impact of the built environment on obesity is needed.

Physical activity in relation to urban environments in 14 cities worldwide: a cross-sectional study
James F. Sallis,Ester Cerin,Ester Cerin,Terry L. Conway,Marc A. Adams,Lawrence D. Frank,Michael Pratt,Deborah Salvo,Jasper Schipperijn,Graham Smith,Kelli L. Cain,Rachel Davey,Jacqueline Kerr,Poh-Chin Lai,Josef Mitáš,Rodrigo Siqueira Reis,Rodrigo Siqueira Reis,Olga L. Sarmiento,Grant Schofield,Jens Troelsen,Delfien Van Dyck,Ilse De Bourdeaudhuij,Neville Owen +22 more
TL;DR: Design of urban environments has the potential to contribute substantially to physical activity and similarity of findings across cities suggests the promise of engaging urban planning, transportation, and parks sectors in efforts to reduce the health burden of the global physical inactivity pandemic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examining the impacts of residential self-selection on travel behavior: A focus on methodologies
Patricia L. Mokhtarian,Xinyu Cao +1 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews and evaluates alternative approaches to attitudinal self-selection in suburban residents, identifying some advantages and disadvantages of each approach, and noting the difficulties in actually quantifying the absolute and/or relative extent of the true influence of the built environment on travel behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
In search of causality: a systematic review of the relationship between the built environment and physical activity among adults.
Gavin R. McCormack,Alan Shiell +1 more
TL;DR: The built environment was more likely to be associated with transportation walking compared with other types of physical activity including recreational walking, and three studies found an attenuation in associations between built environment characteristics and physical activity after accounting for neighborhood self-selection.

Journal ArticleDOI
The central role of the propensity score in observational studies for causal effects
TL;DR: The authors discusses the central role of propensity scores and balancing scores in the analysis of observational studies and shows that adjustment for the scalar propensity score is sufficient to remove bias due to all observed covariates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mail and telephone surveys : the total design method
Abstract: Develops a theoretically based system guided by principles of social exchange and administration that ensure high quality surveys at low cost. Presents step-by-step procedures and shows why each step is important. Contains many examples and, where appropriate, contrasts acceptable and unacceptable procedures.

Microeconometrics: Methods and Applications
TL;DR: This chapter discusses models for making pseudo-random draw, which combines asymptotic theory, Bayesian methods, and ML and NLS estimation with real-time data structures.

Discrete Choice Analysis: Theory and Application to Travel Demand
Moshe Ben-Akiva,Steven R. Lerman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the methods of discrete choice analysis and their applications in the modeling of transportation systems and present a complete travel demand model system presented in chapter 11, which is intended as a graduate level text and a general professional reference.
