In this paper we propose a modified gravity model that takes into account that a population generally consists of heterogeneous groups, and we suggest a new statistical test for heterogeneity. We apply our new model to two real world data sets, and it turns out that this new model fits the data...

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 …

This paper proposes and tests an agent-based model of worker and job matching. The model takes residential locations of workers and the locations of employers as exogenous and deals specifically with the interactions between firms and workers in creating a job-worker match and the commute...

We examine the causal effect of commuting distance on workers' wages in a quasi-natural experiments setting using …' relocations. For the range of commuting distances where income tax reductions associated with commuting do not apply, one … kilometre increase in commuting distance induces a wage increase of about 0.42%, suggesting an hourly compensation of about half …

We examine commuting in a game-theoretic setting with a continuum of commuters. Commuters' home and work locations can … be heterogeneous. The exogenous transport network is arbitrary. Traffic speed is determined by link capacity and by local … the repeated commuting game. …

Previous analyses have been complicated by the difficulties of obtaining commuting … time measures from the ATUS. Travel information can be difficult to interpret in the ATUS, and many commuting trips are …

This paper is the first to combine data from large nationwide surveys to investigate how commuting and work hours … spent commuting replace sleep. Controlling for these effects, commuting before 5 a.m. and after 9 a.m. each increase the … likelihood of short sleep. I also find that time spent commuting and working and the prevalence of these strange commute times …

This paper argues that centralized employment remains an empirically relevant stylization of midsize U.S. metros. It extends the monocentric model to explicitly include leisure as a source of utility but constrains workers to supply fixed labor hours. Doing so sharpens the marginal disutility...
