Background Despite the high incidences of health risk behaviors (HRBs) in sub-Saharan Africa, studies on the contextual determinants of HRBs across countries are generally lacking, concentrated on isolated countries and often focus solely on specific health behaviors. Thus, this study investigated the environmental and social correlates of HRBs in ...

Substantial heterogeneity in behavioral traits has been observed across human societies, which have been linked to important differences in individual as well as societal outcomes. In this paper, we complement the existing literature by investigating the role of key behavioral traits, i.e. risk-taking, patience, altruism, and trust, at the populati...

Congestion pricing, also referred to as road pricing, is a form of Pigouvian taxation designed to limit or reduce vehicular traffic within a specific area. These systems aim to encourage changes in driving behavior and the choice of transportation mode. An example of a congestion pricing system is the Milan Area C charging zone, which operates on a...

The aim of this paper is to measure the role of social inuence in transport mode switch to cycling. We propose an original approach to measure in the context of a natural experiment the inuence of social factors on individual intentions within the theory of interpersonal behaviour, by modelling explicitly the diusion of cycling within the populatio...

Using data which follow the educational trajectories of students during secondary education and measure health status during adulthood, this paper analyzes the effects of private schooling on a range of unhealthy lifestyle outcomes. To account for the non-random selection of students in French private schools I use propensity score matching. I find...

Recent empirical studies have found that travellers route choices deviate from perfect rationality, showing that urban trips do not necessary follow the shortest-time routes. However, there is no consent on how much the travellers' route choice behaviour deviates from the perfect rational assumption. The objective of this study is to contribute to ...

Over the past century, cities around the world have experienced rapid growth in their populations. As a consequence, the capacity of their transport networks has been exceeded, causing traffic congestion problems that are associated to economic losses, high levels of air pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases. It is in this context that it ...

Existing literature on young and elderly drivers indicates that they have the highest crash risks compared to other driver age groups. This paper improves our understanding of the risk factors contributing to young and elderly drivers' elevated crash risk by examining self-report data from the E-Survey of Road User's Safety Attitudes (ESRA). The pr...

New TiAl-based alloys, as for instance the γ-TiAl intermetallic, are adopted for the last generation turbomachines in aerospace industry and their use is likely to increase in the future1. In this evolution, the environmental conditions will move to higher temperature and pressure conditions. The oxidation behaviour is therefore essential for such ...

The objective of this study was to compare the accumulation of unhealthy behaviors at the bottom of the social scale in men and women and, secondarily, to compare social and gender-based inequalities. Fifty-two general practitioners from the Paris area volunteered to participate. A sample of 70 patients (stratified by gender) aged 40–74 years was r...
