We analyze the causal effect of commuting on wages, using a large sample of German job changers. Information on their …-to-door commuting distances with an unprecedented degree of precision. We use a theoretical model on spatial job search to motivate our … heterogeneity. We find an asymmetric valuation of distance changes. Job changers value a reduction of their commuting distance …

Using a panel of bilateral commuting flows, I estimate a quantitative spatial general equilibrium model to quantify … the welfare benefits of urban rail transit and distinguish the benefits of reduced commuting frictions from other channels …. The subway causes a 7%-13% increase in commuting between pairs of connected tracts; I select plausible control pairs using …

Commuting is a significant aspect of workers' daily routines and is associated with various negative outcomes …. Traditional literature often models commuting from an urban perspective, focusing on the trade-off between commuting and housing … of couples' commuting, wages, labor supply, and consumption. Using data from the PSID for the years 2011-2019, results …

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 …

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 … commuting distance using the socio-economic panel data for Germany between 1997 and 2007.
