Abstract
This research provides new evidence about the relationship between online and in-store shopping. This article uses data for England from the UK National Travel Survey (NTS) which covers a full week and also provides information about grocery shopping practices (online and in-store). We examine the effects of online purchases on the grocery shopping practices of working couples and their related CO2 emissions. Our analysis reveals a substitution effect between in-store trips and online shopping combined with home delivery and a 37% reduction in household CO2 emissions for grocery shopping. It appears that buying groceries online combined with a home delivery system makes it possible to significantly cut emissions for grocery shopping trips, or at least to offset the effects of in-store trips by the households with the highest emissions. No rebound effect is observed for other trip motives, i.e. it is not because people make fewer trips for in-store grocery shopping that they make more trips for leisure, personal or other motives.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Sustainable Transportation provides a discussion forum for the exchange of new and innovative ideas on sustainable transportation research in the context of environmental, economical, social, and engineering aspects, as well as current and future interactions of transportation systems and other urban subsystems. The scope includes the examination of overall sustainability of any transportation system, including its infrastructure, vehicle, operation, and maintenance; the integration of social science disciplines, engineering, and information technology with transportation; the understanding of the comparative aspects of different transportation systems from a global perspective; qualitative and quantitative transportation studies; and case studies, surveys, and expository papers in an international or local context. Equal emphasis is placed on the problems of sustainable transportation that are associated with passenger and freight transportation modes in both industrialized and non-industrialized areas. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial evaluation by the Editors and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert reviewers. All peer review is single-blind. Submissions are made online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
