A commodity-based production and distribution freight model with application to Sydney, New South Wales
Published 2019-12-01The complexity of freight demand forecasting coupled with non-availability of data with the required scale and features often limits its inclusion in demand forecasting. To model freight demand, data are required on various ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Context Dependent Process Heuristics and Choice Analysis: A note on the Behavioural Setting Guiding the Research Focus
Published 2019-02-01This note is written to remind us of the recognition of behavioural realism in the economic literature over 60 years ago, which seems to have been given limited recognition in the formal axiomatic development of economic ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Cycling in Australia and Japan: some preliminary perspectives
Published 2019-10-01This brief paper contributes to ongoing dialogue around arresting the stagnation and in some cases decline in cycling in Australian cities by looking to Japan, a nation that has achieved comparatively high levels of cycling ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Disassortativity in Biological and Supply Chain Networks
Published 2019-02-01Network science has allowed researchers to model complex real world systems as networks in order to identify non trivial topological patterns. Degree correlations (or assortativity) is one such non trivial topological ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Experience as a conditioning effect on choice – Does it matter whether it is exogenous or endogenous?
Published 2019-07-01Hensher and Ho (2017) proposed a way to condition the utility of each alternative in a choice set on experience with the alternatives accumulated over previous periods. The paper found that the overall statistical performance ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
