✦ Synopsis

Risk-taking behavior by drivers is put within the context of a general model of utility maximization by speed choice. It is shown that so-called "risk homeostasis" is possible only under very restrictive conditions. Under more general conditions, risk compensation can occur; that is, the safety effects expected from engineering measures will be discounted to a considerable degree by shifts in behavior.

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: In case‐control studies on teratogenic risks of maternal drug use during pregnancy, the use of normal or malformed controls may lead to recall‐bias or selection bias. This can be avoided by using controls with a genetic disorder. However, researchers are hesitant to use
