We consider the role of the nonlinear commuting cost function in determination of the equilibrium commuting pattern … where all agents are mobile. Previous literature has considered only linear commuting cost, where in equilibrium, all … workers are indifferent about their workplace location. We show that this no longer holds for nonlinear commuting cost. The …

Whether, and how much, increased commute costs decrease labor supply is important for transport policy, city growth, and business strategies. Yet empirical estimates are limited and biased downward due to endogenous choices of residences, workplaces, commute modes, and wages. We use the...

This paper is the first to combine data from large nationwide surveys to investigate how commuting and work hours … spent commuting replace sleep. Controlling for these effects, commuting before 5 a.m. and after 9 a.m. each increase the … likelihood of short sleep. I also find that time spent commuting and working and the prevalence of these strange commute times …
