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 …

hours, speed differences are probably one of the most important reasons for congestion. Although the model setting, with one … of slow drivers, and that ‘platooning’ may become an attractive option especially when the desire for a low speed is …

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 …

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

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

First, the gender pay and commuting gaps come into existence at the same moment: when the first child is born. Second …, wage compensation for commuting is lower for women after the birth compared to men: about 3 − 4 percentage points of the …

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'. …
