Résumé / Abstract
This study deals with three general questions. 1. Are there any links between disparities with regard to income and car ownership among private car users in Paris and inequality in their expenditure? If so, what form do they take and how do they operate? 2. How is inequality changing? 3. Can we analyse the change? The answers to the above questions are important in establishing means by which to monitor changes which affect them. This study involves three major steps: 1. The relationship between in come and car ownership rate has been analysed, together with the distribution of these between users; 2. With reference to the car ownership rate, inequality and distribution effect indicators have been applied to a set of variables representing private car expenses; 3. The dynamic of these inequalities has been analysed. This study conducted using the database provided by the 1979 to 1994 family expenditure survey for the Paris region.
