People spend a lot of time commuting and often find it a burden. According to economics, the burden of commuting is … direct test of this strong notion of equilibrium, we find that people with longer commuting time report systematically lower … this ‘commuting paradox’. …

commuting costs the effect of housing frictions plays a large role and can generate a substantial decline in mobility. We show …

A search model of the labor market is augmented to include commuting time to work. The theory posits that wages are … selection will bias downward the wage impact of commuting, and marginally affect the coefficients on education, age and gender … impact of commute time on job acceptance decisions. We also use the theory to calculate the bargaining power of workers which …

We consider the role of the nonlinear commuting cost function in determination of the equilibrium commuting pattern … where all agents are mobile. Previous literature has considered only linear commuting cost, where in equilibrium, all … workers are indifferent about their workplace location. We show that this no longer holds for nonlinear commuting cost. The …
