The paper discusses the tax treatment of commuting where wages and housing cost vary across locations. An income tax … distorts the locational choices of agents, who dislike commuting and have preferences for place of residence Wages, housing … cost and commuting cost determine how subsidising or taxing commuting affects behaviour and social efficiency.

An unappreciated potential benefit of commuting subsidies is that they can expand the choice set of feasible job … opportunities in a way that facilitates a better job match quality. Variations in wages and initial commuting distances, combined … with major reforms of the commuting subsidy formula in Germany, generate worker-specific variation in commuting subsidy …
