| Summary: | Household surveys remain
underutilized for understanding transport choices such as
expenditure level and composition, the economic impacts of
road accidents, and the economic and distributional impacts
of environmental policies such as vehicle restrictions or
fuel taxes. This paper reviews more than 30 Living Standards
Measurement Study surveys conducted after 2010, non-Living
Standards Measurement Study surveys, and two World Bank
harmonized household survey databases, to compile and
categorize an extensive list of transport-related questions.
The paper discusses current limitations in using Living
Standards Measurement Study household surveys. Most of the
transport-related questions in the Living Standards
Measurement Study survey collection are not harmonized
across years and countries. Consistent and more detailed
data on road accidents and the type and use of vehicles
should be added to help design and evaluate road safety and
climate policies. A standard set of guidelines and sample
questions to be integrated into future household surveys is
therefore provided. |
