“…However, being such a recurrent and common tool, that small added effort can provide very relevant information that would allow improving the following campaigns, thus reducing their actual cost [46,74]. In addition, investment in designing more effective campaigns also reduces the economic and personal costs resulting from traffic accidents [75,76]. Therefore, this is a necessary and ultimately recoverable investment.…”

Communication campaigns are commonly used in the traffic and road safety sector to raise public awareness of the importance of avoiding risky road user attitudes and behaviors. Surprisingly few of these communication campaigns evaluate their effectiveness in a formal and comprehensive manner. The core aim of the present systematic review is to identify the type of studies that evaluate the effectiveness of campaigns in this sector, in order to identify and contrast their main findings. This systematic review followed the PRISMA methodology, by means of which the relevant articles based on the search term were identified. A total of 613 indexed articles were filtered, and a final set of 27 articles directly addressing the issue was analyzed. Search strategies were developed and conducted in WOS, Scopus, NCBI, Google Scholar and APA databases. The selected articles point out that, although advertisements alone have a certain positive effect, their effectiveness is substantially increased if they are accompanied by other preventive measures such as legislation or road safety education. In any case, more evaluations of traffic campaigns are needed to identify which techniques are effective and which are not, and which should therefore be replaced by new methods of behavior modification in future communication campaigns.

“…Presently, the most commonly seen cointegration tests include the Engle-Granger cointegration test [28], the Johansen's cointegration test [29] and the Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bound test [30]. The former two approaches are more suitable for data with large sample sizes, which require the time series to be cointegrated of order 1 or 0, that is, all variables must be I(0) or I (1). Comparatively, the ARDL bound test entails lower requirements on sample sizes, and its robustness is not affected by small sample sizes.…”

Despite people's longtime commitment to higher road safety performance and lower traffic accident rates, traffic accidents are still one of the major public safety issues.…”

This paper attempts to examine whether socioeconomic volatility produces differentiated effects on road traffic accident indicators. Adopting the Autoregressive distributed lag error-correction model (ARDL-ECM), this paper explores the long-term equilibrium and short-term interactions between five common economic indicators, namely, average salaries (AS), employment (EM), unemployment (UE), total mileage of highway (TMH), and private vehicle ownership (PVO), as well as road traffic-related indicators including the number of road traffic accidents (RTA), injuries (IN), fatalities (FA), and direct economic losses (DEL), using data of road traffic accidents spanning from 1999 to 2018 in China. The study found that all economic indicators except average salaries showed a long-term equilibrium with road traffic accident indicators. The Granger causality test showed that, over the short term, an increase in employment could lead to an increase in injuries, and an increase in private vehicle ownership could cause a rise in fatalities. This study demonstrates that the volatility in economic indicators indeed produces differentiated effects on road traffic accident indicators, providing a theoretical basis for improving road safety performance and formulating relevant policies.

“…In this section, to search for unknown structural breaks, the Quandt likelihood ratio (QLR) statistics (with a critical value of 3.66 at 5%) will be considered, following the procedures proposed by Torres-Reyna [24], Stock and Watson [25] and Stata [26]. With the QLR statistics the intention is to find the main break over a period of time, considering a specific critical value [27].…”

Testing for Structural Changes in the European Union’s Agricultural Sector

Over recent decades several European and global occurrences have had an impact on the European Union’s economic sectors, and subsequently on farms. In fact, the various Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reforms, namely those since 1992, and the global financial and economic crises, specifically after 2008, seem to have had several effects on the dynamics of the entire European Union agricultural sector and on the performance of farms. However, there is doubt as to whether these events were enough to promote structural breaks in European Union farms. In this way, the main objective of this study is to analyse both the known and unknown structural breaks in European farms, between 1989 and 2016. To this purpose, data from the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) from the twelve former member-states (the countries with the longer time series) and methodologies based on the Chow test and on the Quandt likelihood ratio (QLR) were considered. The results show that the structural breaks are different across the several twelve former European Union countries and among the several variables considered. In any case, the financial and economic crises, as well as changes in the European Union’s methodologies relative to statistical information, seem to have had a greater impact on the European farms than the several CAP reforms (with the exception of the reform of 1992 the trade liberalization). However, the several consequences of all these European and world events on European farms seem to be delayed for some years.
