In this paper we analyse the commuting distribution from a job search perspective.We have examined under which … conditions the commuting distribution is unimodal which isone of the stylised facts of commuting. It appears that a necessary … commuting density function as we observe it. …

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 …

prices. 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 …

workers distributed between them. We introduce commuting costs and search-matching frictions to deal with the spatial mismatch …

An unappreciated potential benefit of commuting subsidies is that they can expand the choice set of feasible job … opportunities in a way that facilitates a better job match quality. Variations in wages and initial commuting distances, combined … with major reforms of the commuting subsidy formula in Germany, generate worker-specific variation in commuting subsidy …
