本文考察了决定农村和城市家庭汽车拥有量的因素。基于1982年至1995年英国家庭支出调查的数据，使用伪面板方法估计了动态汽车拥有量模型。结果显示，与城市家庭相比，农村家庭的汽车拥有量对汽车成本的敏感度要低得多。这些结果意味着，汽车运输成本的普遍增加将给农村家庭带来相当大的经济负担，其他针对地区的运输措施可能更合适，特别是从公平的角度来看。
This paper examines the factors determining car ownership for households living in rural and urban areas. A dynamic car ownership model is estimated using a pseudo-panel approach, based on data from Family Expenditure Surveys in the UK for 1982–1995. The results show that rural households' car ownership is far less sensitive to motoring costs than that of their urban counterparts. The implication of these results is that general increases in the costs of car transport would pose a considerable economic burden for rural households, and that other area-specific transport measures may be more suitable, particularly from an equity point of view.
