extreme weather conditions is that of personal travel, including commuting, an activity that is done daily by millions of … workers worldwide. Within this framework, we estimate the effects of weather conditions on daily commuting and travel choices … workers, finding significant relationships between daily weather conditions, commuting time, and travel choices.

We study the long-term impact of job displacement on workers' commuting behavior. Our measures of commuting exploit geo …-coordinates of workers' places of residence and places of work, from which we calculate the door-to-door commuting distance and … commuting time. Using German employee-employer matched data and an event study design, we identify the causal effect of job loss …

An emerging quantitative spatial economics literature models commuting interactions by a gravity equation that is … the appropriateness of the commuting model from a theoretical as well as an empirical point of view. We show that … changes in commuting flows in response to a change in the attractiveness of choice alternatives provides a more informative …

We employ a semi-parametric estimation approach to analyse observed and unobserved heterogeneity in the value of savings in travel time and schedule delay. Our econometric approach allows for the estimation of unobserved and observed heterogeneity in preferences in a flexible way, meaning that...

The issue of transportation is of primary importance in our societies. A large share of greenhouse gases is generated by the transport sector, and road casualties are one among the most common causes of death. In the present work, we study commuter choice between alternative transport modes...
