Abstract
This paper explores the temporal stability of activity type-choice mod els and models of travelers' home-stay duration. To empirically evalua te this stability, a nested logit model of activity-type choice and a proportional hazards model of home-stay duration are estimated using d ata from two-day travel diaries collected in the fall of 1989 and agai n, from the same individuals, in the fall of 1990. The results show th at the models are not temporally stable over the one year time period separating the two travel-diary samples. A number of possible reasons for this instability are discussed.
