Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to utilize repeated cross-sectional data in a pseudo panel data approach to investigate an individual’s daily participation in out-of home discretionary activities. The pseudo panel data approach methodology using repeated cross sectional data of the General Social Survey (GSS) conducted by Statistics Canada over the period of 1992-2010 has been applied to conduct longitudinal activity participation in out-of-home discretionary activities. In this study, participation in out-of-home discretionary activities has been calculated using an individual’s participation in shopping, grocery, social, recreational, entertainment and organizational activities per surveyed year. Based on gender and the birth year of the respondent, cohorts are defined and are traced over time in each of the cross sectional data sets. A random coefficient model has been developed on the basis of the cohort data. The estimation of the random coefficient model of the pseudo panel data suggests that personal and household socio- demographic characteristics of have long run effect on out-of-home discretionary activity participations. Model results also show that there is no significant difference between male and female cohorts over the years in terms of out-of-home discretionary activity participation. Travel behavior characteristics (e.g. number of trips per day, total duration of work) also found to have significant variation between cohorts over the years. As the pseudo panel approach has been increasingly applied in travel demand analysis, thus this paper gives an insight to implement pseudo panel for activity travel participation
