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 …

commuting distances. The results illustrate that graduates are drawn to prospering regions with ample job opportunities …, supposedly in order to advance their careers. They choose their places of residence so as to balance their commuting distances …

commuting are negatively related, and thus the probability of self-employment decreases with "expected" commuting time. We use … metropolitan areas in the US, focusing on the relationship between commuting time and the probability of self-employment. Our … empirical results show that the probability of self-employment is negatively related to the "expected" commuting time, giving …

relationship between individual earnings and commuting and leisure. Our empirical results show that employment is mostly … concentrated in metropolitan cores, and that earnings increase with "expected" commuting time, which gives empirical support to our … pattern of commuting and the employees-to-unemployed rate, although we find higher wages in comparatively crowded states …

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 …, wage compensation for commuting is lower for women after the birth compared to men: about 3 − 4 percentage points of the …

We study the long-term impact of job displacement on workers' commuting behavior. Our measures of commuting exploit geo …-coordinates of workers' places of residence and places of work, from which we calculate the door-to-door commuting distance and … commuting time. Using German employee-employer matched data and an event study design, we identify the causal effect of job loss …
