Abstract

There are longstanding debates about the differences between generations. This includes claims that Millennials have fundamentally different preferences for driving and vehicle ownership when compared to prior generations. Using data on the United Kingdom I do indeed find large observed differences in driving habits and vehicle ownership between Millennials and prior generations. However, once certain confounding factors are controlled for these differences largely disappear. These results confirm findings from related work that looked at the United States, indicating that generational trends in driving habits are likely a fairly general phenomenon.
