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 …

study of commuting behavior. This is illustrated by showing that introduction of a spatial element into the standard model … decentralized employment the spatial search model predicts excess commuting. Search theory also suggests that regression towards the …

We examine the causal effect of commuting distance on workers' wages in a quasi-natural experiments setting using …' relocations. For the range of commuting distances where income tax reductions associated with commuting do not apply, one … kilometre increase in commuting distance induces a wage increase of about 0.42%, suggesting an hourly compensation of about half …

Denmark and show that gender differences regarding commuting play an important role in explaining this. We offer 3 pieces of … evidence. First, the gender pay and commuting gaps come into existence at the same moment: when the first child is born. Second …, wage compensation for commuting is lower for women after the birth compared to men: about 3 − 4 percentage points of …

reduce their commuting costs by reducing total labour supply. However, a labour supply model which also allows for optimally … chosen daily hours implies that commuting costs increase daily hours, whereas the effect on total labour supply is ambiguous …. This paper addresses this issue empirically by analysing the relationship between labour supply patterns and commuting …
