• Are telecommuting and personal travel complements or substitutes? (2012, background): “More recently, Choo et al. (2005) conducted a multivariate time series analysis to estimate the impact of telecommuting on total VMT for personal transportation, using aggregate nationwide data.”
• A systematic review of the energy and climate impacts of teleworking (2020, background): “For example, Choo et al. (2005) estimate that teleworking is practised by 12% of the US workforce once a week and estimate a resulting 0.8% reduction in the total distance travelled by private cars.”
• Telecommuting, Household Commute and Location Choice (2013, unknown): “…that telecommuting tends to increase the individual worker’s one-way commute (for example, Nilles, 1991; Mokhtarian et al., 1995, 1997, 2004; Handy and Mokhtarian, 1995; Mokhtarian, 1998; Salomon, 1998; Gareis, 2003; Choo et al., 2005; Ory and Mokhtarian, 2005, 2006; Jiang, 2008; Zhu, 2011, 2012).”
• How Effective Is Telecommuting? Assessing the Status of Our Scientific Findings (2015, unknown): “Using data spanning 1966 to 1999, Choo, Mokhtarian, and Salomon (2005) reported modeled data evidence suggesting that telecommuting across the United States reduced the annual national number of passenger vehicle miles traveled by 0.8% or less.”
• Telecommunications and travel demand and supply: Aggregate structural equation models for the US (2007, methodology): “Choo et al. (2002, 2005) explored the impact of teleworking (measured by number of telecommuters) on transportation (in terms of vehicle–miles traveled and airline passenger miles traveled), using a two-stage multivariate time series analysis of 1966–1999 nationwide data (1988–1998 data for…”
