Even though workers in the UK spent just 1,000 pounds on commuting in 2017, the economic loss may be far higher because … of the congestion externality arising from the way in which one worker's commute affects the commuting time of others. I … provide empirical evidence that commuting time affects job acceptance, pointing to large indirect costs of congestion. To …

commuting developed in Monte et al. (2018) to address the workings of local labor markets in Germany. One key contribution … commuting measures have very little predictive power for these general equilibrium elasticities when the housing share is small … housing share has only little influence on the welfare effects and location patterns of counterfactual commuting cost …

Using a panel of bilateral commuting flows, I estimate a quantitative spatial general equilibrium model to quantify … the welfare benefits of urban rail transit and distinguish the benefits of reduced commuting frictions from other channels …. The subway causes a 7%-13% increase in commuting between pairs of connected tracts; I select plausible control pairs using …
