Trip Characteristics of Convenience Markets with Gas Pumps
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Convenience markets with gasoline pumps have flourished throughout the United States in the past 10 years. The growing demand for self-service gasoline and convenience grocery goods, readily accessible with fast service, have fueled a boom in the convenience market business. As transportation engineers and planners, we are asked to determine the impacts of developments on the transportation system. Because the convenience market is a relatively new concept and limited data exist in the literature on the trip characteristics of these stores, we decided to study the trip characteristics of convenience markets with gas pumps in the Billings, Montana, area. The objectives of the study were to 1. Define the trip generation characteristics of convenience markets with gas pumps. 2. Analyze the trip characteristics of patrons to these markets. 3. Determine the trip assignment characteristics for these markets by distinguishing primary trips, diverted linked trips, and nondiverted linked trips.

متن کاملThe role of incompleteness in commodity futures markets
This paper proposes a convenience yield-based pricing for commodity futures, which embeds incompleteness of commodity futures markets in convenience yields. By using the pricing method, we conduct empirical analyses of the prices of WTI crude oil, heating oil, and natural gas futures traded on the NYMEX in order to assess the incompleteness of energy futures markets. We show that the fluctuatio...

Does Price Matter? Price and Non-Price Competition in the Airline Industry
This paper studies passengers’ choice behavior in air travel. Products are defined as a unique combination of airline and flight itinerary while markets are defined as a directional round-trip air travel between an origin and a destination city. A structural econometric model is used to investigate the relative importance of price (airfare) and non-price product characteristics in explaining pa...
