The paper addresses itself to the reconciliation of the conflicting views about the causal relationships between automobile ownership and net residential density. Econometric models are estimated based on the hypotheses that: (1) residential density depends on auto ownership per household, income, and preferences for residental space with unidirectional causality from auto ownership to density; (2) auto ownership per household depends on residential density, income and household transportation requirements with unidirectional causality from residental density to auto ownership; and (3) automobile ownership and residential density are jointly and simultaneously determined. The results of tests of each hypothesis and their shortcomings attributable to data deficiencies are discussed in detail.
