We estimate female and male workers' marginal willingness to pay to reduce commuting distance in Germany, using a … partial-equilibrium model of job search with non-wage job attributes. Commuting costs have implications not just for … congestion policy, spatial planning and transport infrastructure provision, but are also relevant to our understanding of gender …

This paper investigates the contribution of increasing travel times to the persistent gender gap in labor market … participation. In doing so, we estimate the labor supply elasticity of commuting time from a sample of men and women in US cities … 10 minutes increase in commuting decreases the probability of married women to participate in the labor market by 4 …

Denmark and show that gender differences regarding commuting play an important role in explaining this. We offer 3 pieces of … evidence. First, the gender pay and commuting gaps come into existence at the same moment: when the first child is born. Second … overall gender pay gap is due to gender differences related to compensation for commuting when having children. Third, women …

children receive less wage compensation for commuting compared to their male counterparts, which contributes to the gender wage … costs of commuting increase substantially for women after they have children. For women with a child, a one standard … deviation increase in commuting distance induces costs equivalent to about 16\% of their wage. At the same time, women with …

Childbirth increases the opportunity cost of commuting and makes it difficult for both parents to work far away from … home. Using detailed Norwegian register data, we show that the commuting patterns of men and women diverge immediately … after childbirth and that those differences persist for at least a decade. We show that this divergence in commuting exposes …
