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 of the …

' marginal willingness to pay for reducing commuting distance is about euro 0.25 per kilometre travelled. This corresponds to a … marginal willingness to pay for reducing commuting time of about 75% of the net average hourly wage. For females, the …
