In this paper, we analyze the relationship between potential worker supply, measured through sex ratios, and commuting … times in the United States. Using the American Time Use Survey 2003-2014, we analyze the relationship between commuting … commuting times of both male and female workers. Furthermore, this result applies to both private and public sector employees …

We study the trip scheduling preferences of train commuters in a real-life setting. The underlying data have been collected during large-scale peak avoidance experiment conducted in the Netherlands, in which participants could earn monetary rewards for traveling outside peak hours. The...

This paper studies to what extent gender differences in commuting patterns explain the observed disparities between … husband and wife in relation to earnings and wages. It is argued that the cost of commuting is higher for women because they … differences in commuting patterns. A conditional Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition indicates that short commutes are strongly …

Whether, and how much, increased commute costs decrease labor supply is important for transport policy, city growth, and business strategies. Yet empirical estimates are limited and biased downward due to endogenous choices of residences, workplaces, commute modes, and wages. Using the...

This paper studies the interaction between dynamic traffic congestion and urban spatial equilibrium, using a model that is a straight unification of the Vickrey (1969) bottleneck congestion model and the Alonso (1964) monocentric city model. In a monocentric city with a bottleneck at the...

In this paper, we propose a new spatial framework to model excess commuting of workers and we show empirical … their commuting time, employees do not minimize their commuting time because they lack full information, and thus the … difference between the time devoted to commuting by self-employed workers and employees is modeled as wasteful commuting (i …
