We examine the effect of interstate differences in income taxes on commuting times. Our theoretical model introduces a … border into a model of an urban area and shows that differences in average tax rates distort commuting patterns, but the sign … large effect on commuting times for affluent households and mobile households. We show that commuting times are a sufficient …

workers' commuting behavior. Combining German employer-employee matched data with geo-referenced data on workers' workplaces … and residences, we estimate the impact of job losses due to mass layoffs on the commuting distance and commuting time of … displaced workers. Conditional on finding a new job, workers' commuting distance increases by 21 percent (3 kilometers) in the …

This paper provides the first delineation of China’s commuting-based metropolitan areas (MAs) using a new source of … commuting flow data at fine geographic levels. We show that commutes in China are overwhelmingly short and largely confined by … administrative boundaries. Consequently, commuting-based MAs are relatively small, highly correlated with the administrative …

In this paper, we study the commuting behavior of citizens living in or near a city who must decide how to get to work …
