D. McFadden / Transport Policy 14 (2007) 269274
where yn is income, sn is a net subsidy, p is a nitedimensional vector of prices of private market goods, Bn(p)
is a committed expenditure on private goods that is
heterogeneous across consumers, A(p) is a price index, c
is the generalized cost of travel across a ring and into a city
center, including out-of-pocket costs and tolls and the
value of time, en is a standard normal disturbance that
reects individual distaste for travel, and l and m are
positive parameters. This consumer will travel into the ring
if c+(enm)/l is negative, and an indicator for travel, given
by Roys identity, is
d n 1lc m n o0 qV =qc=qV =qyn .
The share of the population that travels into the ring is
then given by a cumulative normal, or probit, evaluated
at an argument that is decreasing in the generalized travel
cost c:
