In this paper, we employ search theory as a micro-economic foundation for the wasteful commuting hypothesis. It is … argued that the commute of the self-employed is the result of a search process for vacant workplaces, whereas employees … search for vacant jobs through space. Because the arrival rate of workplaces is much higher than the arrival rate of jobs …

search for a job-type that matches their skill. They face a trade-off between match quality and the cost of extended search …. This trade-off differs between regions, because search is more efficient in larger regions. Then, interregional mobility … commodities that are search intensive, i.e. that require a wide variety of tasks and make use of scarce worker types. Empirical …

We investigate an equilibrium search model in which the search frictions are increasing with the distance to the … central business district allowing for on-the-job search and endogenous (monopsony) wage formation and land allocation. We …
