Based on the geo-referenced data, I analyse the commuting behaviour of employees in Germany. With the help of a behavioural economic approach, which is based on the investigation of Simonsohn (2006) for the US, I can show that it is not only the wage and the individual heterogeneity that shape...

We study the long-term impact of job displacement on workers' commuting behavior. Our measures of commuting exploit geo-coordinates of workers' places of residence and places of work, from which we calculate the door-to-door commuting distance and commuting time. Using German employee-employer...

Job displacement results in large and persistent earnings losses, but less is known about the non-monetary costs of job losses or workers' valuation for such costs. In this paper, we identify and quantify the impact of job displacement on workers' commuting behavior. Combining German...
