Abstract:

In this regression analysis of the regional utilities, global time trends of the variables are eliminated by normalizing the utilities and the socioeconomic variables. But this procedure cannot be adapted to the analysis of the global mobility. Instead, the authors use a slightly modified procedure which enables them to introduce separate trends in time if necessary. Such separate trends, having no deeper explanatory value of their own, should only be taken into account if there exist no explanatory variables automatically implying the trend of the global mobility. Thus, the authors present a procedure allowing for both pure trend variables and socioeconomic variables implying trends.
