Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
It is often a difficult decision whether or not to buy a(nother) car, because there are only a few occasions where we would definitely need one. Once the car is bought, however, it is used much more often than we had planned. The reason is evident: the fixed costs of depreciation and insurance are correctly considered sunk costs, and therefore the daily decision whether to use the car or not should not be based on them. Only the variable costs (primarily gasoline) are considered. Most often these costs turn out to be lower than the average cost of the alternative of a public transport ticket. This closes the cycle: private car use is further enhanced, and public transport declines even more.
