We analyze the causal effect of commuting on wages, using a large sample of German job changers. Information on their home and workplace addresses in combination with road navigation software allows us to calculate exact door-to-door commuting distances with an unprecedented degree of precision....

We posit and empirically test the hypothesis that airlines are able to charge a fare premium in markets that originate in their domestic country relative to similar markets that originate in foreign countries. To this end, we focus on intercontinental one-stop air travel trips for which the...

Electric vehicle drives offer a number of advantages over conventional internal combustion engines, especially in terms of lower local emissions, higher energy efficiency, and decreased dependency upon oil. Yet there are significant barriers to the rapid adoption of electric cars, including the...

Elektrische PKW-Antriebe bieten im Vergleich zu konventionellen Verbrennungsmotoren viele Vorteile, insbesondere geringere lokale Emissionen, eine höhere Energieeffizienz und eine geringere Mineralölabhängigkeit. Andererseits stellen Batterietechnik, Anschaffungskosten und Ladeinfrastruktur...

This paper constructs a theoretical model that facilitates analysis of the effects of employer-paid parking on mode choice, road investment and suburbanization. The model simplifies urban space by dividing it into two zones (islands), center and suburbs, which are connected by a congested road...

Die innerstädtische Wohnstandortwahl einkommensschwacher und einkommensstarker Haushalte wird häufig mit dem monozentrischen Stadtmodell erklärt. Laut Modellbedingung muss die Einkommenselastizität der Wohnflächennachfrage größer sein als die Einkommenselastizität der Pendelkosten, damit...

Commuting is an important and growing component of workers daily life and demands a lot of time. Given the importance of commuting, it is crucial to understand its consequences for different aspects of individual labour supply. In this paper, we focus on the causal effect of commuting on...

Previous studies have found an inverse (or negative) correlation between urban population density and per capita emissions from land transport. In contrast, this paper finds a positive relationship between per capita CO2 emissions from transport and population density using a dataset of over 200...

Pacific economies are confronted with several structural constraints that limit their economic growth, most importantly their small size and remoteness from major world markets. In this paper we study the importance of transport connectivity for Pacific economies when participating in the world...
