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

We examine the effects of differences in income tax rates on commuting times within multi-state MSAs. Our theoretical … holding fixed other characteristics. We identify large effects on commuting times for affluent households and homeowners in …

realistic representation of decisions related to commuting, migration and household and employment location. The model allows …

We use a spatial general equilibrium model with potential commuting of workers between their place of work and their …

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?. …

only reduce their commuting costs by reducing total labour supply. 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. Endogeneity of commuting distance is …

Evidence suggests that a considerable proportion of peak period trips aremade for purposes other than commuting to or … suggests that while, in theabsence of congestion tolls, commuting subsidies are welfare decreasing, anoptimal pricing scheme …

reduce their commuting costs by reducing total labour supply. 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 ambiguous …. This paper addresses this issue empirically by analysing the relationship between labour supply patterns and commuting …

This paper studies the interaction between urban spatial equilibrium and commuting congestion dynamics. We present a …
