Nicotine is addictive - but how much does addiction matter in choices between cigarettes and e-cigarettes? Check out our new paper at doi.org/10.1002/hec.41…

Would you self-administer intravenous antibiotics rather than travelling to hospital each day? Our new paper shows an important role for attitudes towards hospitals and healthcare responsibility in shaping decisions. Read it at authors.elsevier.com/a/1cJgG_dwev9R…

We all need water, but some of us are more picky about where it comes from. Our new paper on greywater reuse highlights the presence of very distinct classes of consumers, helping policy makers to identify target groups for early uptake. Read it at: authors.elsevier.com/c/1cKCF_6sjVAU…

Congratulations to Dr Thomas Hancock who has won the 2019 Eric Pas award for the best PhD dissertation in travel behaviour research for his thesis entitled "Travel behaviour modelling at the interface between econometrics and mathematical psychology”.

Working for eight hours straight is not the same as splitting work into two four-hour episodes. We propose a simple way to acknowledge this in time use models, with big repercussions on estimated satiation and the number of trips predicted. Read it here: doi.org/10.1080/216805…

Does the lack of consequentiality matter in stated choice surveys? Our new paper puts the question to the test by contrasting SC with an incentive compatible driving simulator experiment where both time and cost are experienced. Invest real time to read it authors.elsevier.com/c/1c-gb,M0mRJi…
