Abstract: Online shopping opportunities are transforming travel behaviour for shopping and could potentially reduce the overall travel demand. Despite numerous studies on online shopping, only a few have taken an approach that includes trips for all travel purposes.

Although complementarity seems to dominate the literature, the impact of the Internet on shopping is more complex than it appears.…”
