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 …

commuting distances. The results illustrate that graduates are drawn to prospering regions with ample job opportunities …, supposedly in order to advance their careers. They choose their places of residence so as to balance their commuting distances …

We examine commuting in a game-theoretic setting with a continuum of commuters. Commuters' home and work locations can … be heterogeneous. The exogenous transport network is arbitrary. Traffic speed is determined by link capacity and by local … the repeated commuting game. …

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 …

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 …
