Stochastic Production Frontier Models to Explore Constraints on Household Travel Expenditures Considering Household Income Classes
This paper explores the variation of household travel expenditure frontiers (HTEFs) prior to CC reform in Jakarta. This study incorporates the variation of household income classes into the modeling of HTEFs and investigates the degree to which various determinants influence levels of HTEF. The HTEF...
