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 …

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 …

commuting flows from a Norwegian region with a high number of ferry connections and/or tunnels and bridges. Based on a doubly …-constrained gravity-based model specification we focus on how commuting flows respond to varying toll charges and ferry prices. Estimation … results are used to predict how the generation and distribution of commuting flows is affected when ferry connections are …

Studies of the "stated preferences" of households generally report public and political opposition by urban commuters to congestion pricing. It is thought that this opposition inhibits or precludes tolls and pricing systems that would enhance efficiency in the use of scarce roadways. This paper...

We examine the effect of commuting on labour supply patterns. A labour supply model is introduced which shows that … commuting distance increases daily workhours, whereas the effect on total labour supply is ambiguous. This paper addresses these … issues empirically using the socio-economic panel data for Germany between 1997 and 2007. Endogeneity of commuting distance …

When drivers opt for carpooling, road capacity will be freed up, and this will reduce congestion. Therefore, carpooling is interesting for policy makers as a possible solution to congestion. We investigate the effects of carpooling in a dynamic equilibrium model of congestion, which captures...
