“…Thus, the displays caused a decreased travel time of 2.88 percent (1.3minutes/45minutes). Each 1 percent in reduced travel time causes a 0.8 percent increase in ridership if we use an average travel time elasticity of -0.8 which is recommended by Mackie et al (2003). That means that in our case, a widespread real-time information system could theoretically cause an increase in ridership of about 2.3 percent.…”

“…Further, they are only relevant if decision makers consider equalization as the guiding principle and seek to reduce inequalities [9] (pp.968-969). In practice, distributional weights are rarely used [17,18]. There are also advantages to a cost-benefit approach, as identifying the most cost-efficient option can free resources to address other important problems.…”

Abstract:It is unlikely that cost-benefit approaches will be effective in identifying investments that support gender equality without a relevant "social framing". Criteria for a "social framing" are lacking, yet cost-benefit approaches often guide investment decisions for disaster risk and environmental management. Mainstream approaches typically do a poor job identifying and characterizing costs and benefits, and often fail to address distributive concerns (i.e., how costs and benefits may be distributed throughout society, to whom, etc.). Gender-blind investments may project responsibility for equality "problems" onto one sex, potentially augmenting gender inequalities and disaster risk. This article examines evidence from the gender, disaster, and development literature to identify distributive concerns and criteria for an equitable "social framing" for economic evaluations. Primary distributive concerns identified regard assumptions of women's homogeneity, agency, "active" participation, and the influence of customary practice and displacement on disaster vulnerability. The need for a "gender-responsive" "social framing" that considers the needs of men and women in relation to one another is evident. Second, cost-benefit studies focused on gender equality concerns are reviewed and the "social framing" is critiqued. Results show most studies are not "gender-responsive". Women's health concerns, often exacerbated by disasters, are sidelined by assumptions regarding distributive concerns and reductive outcome measures.

“…The standard way travel time is valued in transport appraisal, through valuation of travel time savings (essentially, travel time is treated as wasted time), provides the overall context for this research (Wardman 1998;Mackie, Jara-Díaz et al 2001;Wardman 2001;Hensher 2001a;Hensher 2001b;Mokhtarian 2005;Metz 2008). The study reported here does not engage with the monetary valuation of travel time; it is a social and not an economic study.…”
