This thesis investigates the responsiveness of car travel and ownership to changes in income and fuel prices using detailed micro registry panel data from Swedish households over two decades. The work examines how these elasticities vary across different income groups and municipality types, highlighting that income elasticity is most pronounced in the middle income distribution. It also explores the impact of fuel prices on vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT) and car ownership, revealing significant variation in densely populated areas compared to rural ones. The analysis is crucial for policymakers and transport forecasters aiming to address climate and car use policies effectively. The research is intended for experts in transport economics, policymakers, and academic audiences.
