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 …

The relationship between speed and income is established in a micro- economic model focusing on the trade-off between … travel time and the risk of receiving a penalty for exceeding the speed limit. This is used to determine when a rational … driver will choose to exceed the speed limit. The relationship between speed and income is found again in the empirical …
