Abstract

This paper presents the research plan to elicit home office preferences during the current crisis and beyond as well as resulting transport demand and policy implications. We first identify gaps in the current literature on modeling and understanding work from home (WFH) and discuss in how far our proposal corrects for these limitations. We then introduce the survey instrument consisting of three waves collecting socioeconomic variables, revealed preference (RP) and stated preference (SP) data both in the context of choosing number of days worked from home and the choice of mobility tool ownership (MTO). Whereas the survey instrument presented covers the overarching research intent we focus on WFH in the methodological section. We describe a comprehensive framework for modeling WFH under different hybrid work arrangements and in the context of the pandemic while accounting for home office feasibility and unobserved heterogeneity. The benefits and limitations of our outlined integrated choice latent variable latent class model are discussed extensively. A brief overview of the future work and expected impact concludes.
