In this paper, we derive a structural model for commuting speed. We presume that commuting speed is chosen to minimise … commuting costs, which encompass both monetary and time costs. At faster speed levels, the monetary costs increase, but the time … costs fall. Using data from Great Britain, we demonstrate that the income elasticity of commuting speed is 0.126. The ratio …

Improvements of transport systems in big conurbation (higher speed and lower cost of individual mobility) have …. More precisely, our aim was to try to answer some questions : have car drivers a good appreciation of the car speed … drastic growth of the public transport supply and/or from a reduction of the car speed in order to reduce the car usage and …

The relationship between speed and income is established in a micro- economic model focusing on the trade-off between … travel time and the risk of receiving a penalty for exceeding the speed limit. This is used to determine when a rational … driver will choose to exceed the speed limit. The relationship between speed and income is found again in the empirical …

The relationship between speed and income is established in a microeconomic model focusing on the trade-off between … travel time and the risk of receiving a penalty for exceeding the speed limit. This is used to determine when a rational … driver will choose to exceed the speed limit. The relationship between speed and income is found again in the empirical …

the causal effect of commuting distance on workers' wages in a quasi-natural experiments setting using information on all …. 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 …

commuting distances. The results illustrate that graduates are drawn to prospering regions with ample job opportunities …, supposedly in order to advance their careers. They choose their places of residence so as to balance their commuting distances …

of estimating the relationship between sub- jective well-being and commuting behaviour. In contrast to previous papers in …

In this study, Swedish stated preference data is used to derive estimated values of commuting time (VOCT). Both spouses … in two-earner households are individually making trade-offs between commuting time and wage; both with regard to their … own commuting time and wage only, as well as when both their own commuting time and wage and their spouse's commuting time …

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’. …
