TL;DR: In this paper, a flexible generalized Poisson model is combined with the multinomial distribution to jointly predict households' choices among types of trips and frequency of trips, and the model is compared with conventional Poisson models.
Abstract: A flexible, generalized Poisson model is combined with the multinomial distribution to jointly predict households' choices among types of trips and frequency of trips. The model is compared with conventional Poisson models. The problem of a time-variant mean for frequencies is also addressed, as well as the mean-variance property of the conventional Poisson model that is avoided by use of the generalized formulation. The generalized model is found to outperform the conventional models. Copyright 1990 by MIT Press.

TL;DR: In this article, the pricing of usage in a government-provided facility in the presence of rent seeking over the distribution of the revenues raised is examined, and the authors distinguish government prices and market prices in terms of the control over the revenue raised.
