Errata
Regarding the article:
Troncoso Parady, G., Chikaraishi, M., Takami, K., Harata, N. (2014) A panel approach
to understanding the effect of the built environment on travel behavior: A case study of
the Kashiwanoha Area, Chiba, Japan . Urban and Regional Planning Review,1, pp.18-
38
Page 3 paragraph 6 reads:
The second approach to control for self-selection involves purging the built environment variables of
its correlation with travel behavior through instrumental variables; nevertheless, finding a suitable
instrument, that is, an instrument that is correlated with the built environment but at the same time
exogenous to travel behavior, might be a challenging task.
The correct statement is:
The second approach to control for self-selection involves purging the built environment variables of
its correlation with the error term through instrumental variables; nevertheless, finding a suitable
instrument, that is, an instrument that is correlated with the built environment but at the same time
exogenous to travel behavior, might be a challenging task.
On the same paragraph, the text reads:
In the context of American or European cities, considering that urban areas developed before
the second world war were more compact and mixed use, the percentage of buildings built before
1940s and 1960s were used as instruments for the built environment11, 12)
The correct statement is:
In the context of American or European cities, the percentage of buildings built before 1940s
and 1960s were used as instruments for the built environment, since these non-transport
related neighborhood characteristics are related to the built environment yet likely
exogenous to the error term11,12).
