This experimental design yields three important new insights. First, some subjects prefer monetary costs, while others prefer time costs. Second, the introduction of subject heterogeneity results in different value of time preferences between subject groups. Finally, there is evidence that subjects from lower socioeconomic families who are currently employed while school (the subject pool is almost entirely comprised of UCSB students) travel the congested route more often when actual waiting time is involved.Item Open Access ON TRAC Winter 2006(2006)Item Open Access ON TRAC Fall 2005(2005)Item Open Access ON TRAC Spring 2004(2004)Item Open Access ON TRAC Summer 2003(2003)Item Open Access ON TRAC Winter 2002(2002)Item Open Access ON TRAC Spring 2002(2002)Item Open Access ON TRAC Summer 2001(2001)Item Open Access ON TRAC Winter 2004(2004)Item Open Access ON TRAC Winter/Spring 2001(2001)Item Open Access ON TRAC Fall 2000(2000)
