Abstract
While the influence of economic factors have been accounted for in recent
evaluations of the effectiveness of road safety countermeasures and public policies, little attention has been focussed on the relative merits of different economic indicators in predicting different types of crashes. This study provides some conceptual and empirical support for the use of unemployment rate for predicting alcohol-related crashes and the moving average of the leading index for predicting speed-related crashes in Australia.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
