We analyze the causal effect of commuting on wages, using a large sample of German job changers. Information on their …-to-door commuting distances with an unprecedented degree of precision. We use a theoretical model on spatial job search to motivate our … heterogeneity. We find an asymmetric valuation of distance changes. Job changers value a reduction of their commuting distance …
