Dear list members, I would be very grateful if someone could give me any bibliography references or information on published reports/studies dealing with the following problem: Which kind of relationship does exist between number of kilometers traveled and GDP both for passengers and freight fluxes of transport? Does an increment of GDP induces a more than proportional increment of the number of trips? Thanking all in advance, I'm looking forward to read your answers.
