Luft- og støjforureningen og antallet af trafikulykker vil stige dramatisk i de kommende år som følge af flere og flere lastbiler på Europas veje. I følge officielle prognoser forventes det, at i år 2010 vil ca. 85% af den samlede godstransport inden for EU´s 15 medlemslande blive transporteret med lastbil mod ca. 50% i 1970 og ca. 70% i 1992.For at få vendt eller i det mindste bremset denne udvikling er det nødvendigt med en større viden om og forståelse af hvilke transportkvaliteter, de mere miljøvenlige transportformer som bane og søtransport, skal tilbyde for at kunne konkurrere med lastbilen. Transportkvalitetens betydning skal ses både fra transportkøbernes og transportudbydernes side.I studiet interviewes 140 transportkøbere og transportudbydere fordelt over hele landet. Det pc-baserede interviewskema inderholder to typer af spørgsmål: Rangordning og værdisætning af 8 på forhånd definerede kvalitetsparametre med udgangspunkt firmaets nuværende transportpolitik, og Hypotetiske spørgsmål (Stated Preference spil), hvor transportkvaliteterne grupperes med henblik på at definere forskellige transportalternativer. Det observeres, hvorledes respondenternes valg af alternativer skifter, når transportvilkårerne(kvaliteterne) ændres. I dette notat beskrives den anvendte metode og de foreløbige resultater af analyserne.

Most multivariate models aimed at evaluating the impact of democracy on interstate conflict contain a set of control variables sufficiently large to have a confusing impact. Partly for that reason, the potentially confounding impacts of such variables as wealth, political stability, and political similarity on the relationship of democracy to conflict have still not been evaluated in a definitive manner. In other cases, multivariate models contain intervening variables that are likely to produce misleading results. Multivariate analyses aimed specifically at uncovering spurious relationships in a more straightforward and incremental manner are better able to produce clear and informative results.
