Abstract
We investigate the efect of quantities of parallel parking spaces on quantities of parallel-parking vehicles in Taipei City. Since there may be simultaneous causality between these two variables, we use instrumental variable model to do the estimations. Te quantity of parallel parking spaces has a positive effect on quantity of parallel-parking vehicles, especially in the zones which have poor service level of parallel parking. One unit increasing of parallel parking spaces attracts more than one unit of parallel-parking vehicle. Increasing of parallel parking spaces could also lead to growth of illegal-parking vehicles. We fnd a similar result afer controlling the the peak-hour of the zones. We conclude that increased quantity of parallel parking spaces is possible to attract more parallel-parking vehicles and bring about a more congested area for parallel parking.
