In this paper, we derive a structural model for commuting speed. We presumethat commuting speed is chosen to minimise … commuting costs, which encompass bothmonetary and time costs. At faster speed levels, the monetary costs increase, but the … timecosts fall. Using data from Great Britain, we demonstrate that the income elasticity ofcommuting speed is 0.126. The ratio …

Improvements of transport systems in big conurbation (higher speed and lower cost of individual mobility) have …. More precisely, our aim was to try to answer some questions : have car drivers a good appreciation of the car speed … drastic growth of the public transport supply and/or from a reduction of the car speed in order to reduce the car usage and …

The relationship between speed and income is established in a microeconomic model focusing on the trade-off between … travel time and the risk of receiving a penalty for exceeding the speed limit. This is used to determine when a rational … driver will choose to exceed the speed limit. The relationship between speed and income is found again in the empirical …

hours, speed differences are probably one of the most important reasons for congestion. Although the model setting, with one … of slow drivers, and that ‘platooning’ may become an attractive option especially when the desire for a low speed is …

commuting are negatively related, and thus the probability of self-employment decreases with "expected" commuting time. We use … metropolitan areas in the US, focusing on the relationship between commuting time and the probability of self-employment. Our … empirical results show that the probability of self-employment is negatively related to the "expected" commuting time, giving …

relationship between individual earnings and commuting and leisure. Our empirical results show that employment is mostly … concentrated in metropolitan cores, and that earnings increase with "expected" commuting time, which gives empirical support to our … pattern of commuting and the employees-to-unemployed rate, although we find higher wages in comparatively crowded states …
