Future of Transport and Fuel Demand Are Consumers Myopic About Future Fuel Costs? Insights from the Indian two-wheeler market Prateek Bansal, Rubal Dua, Rico Krueger, Daniel Graham India has the world’s third highest carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, after China and the United States. The transportation sector is the third largest contributor to carbon dioxide emissions in India, accounting for roughly 11% of all carbon dioxide emissions in 2016. Road transport accounts for around… Bansal, Prateek Dua, Rubal Rico Krueger Daniel Graham
Future of Transport and Fuel Demand Once Consumers Adopt an Electric Vehicle, Do They Go Back? Rubal Dua, Prateek Bansal The lack of repeat adoption of low carbon technologies has implications for climate change mitigation. In this insight, we explore how many electric vehicle owners dispose of their electric vehicles and do not buy another when purchasing their next car.… Dua, Rubal Bansal, Prateek
Eliciting preferences of TNC users and drivers: Evidence from the United States Science Direct Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) are changing the transportation ecosystem, but micro-decisions of travelers and TNC drivers need to be better understood to assess their system-level impacts. Using a unique sample (N = 11,902) of the U.S. population residing in TNC-served areas, we… Prateek Bansal, Rubal Dua, Akanksha Sinha, Ricardo A.Dazianoa
