We estimate female and male workers' marginal willingness to pay to reduce commuting distance in Germany, using a … partial-equilibrium model of job search with non-wage job attributes.

Through the lens of a job search model where commuting matters, we estimate that around 10% of the gender …In this paper we relate gender differences in willingness to commute to the gender wage gap. Using unique … wage gap is accounted for by gender differences in the willingness to pay for a shorter commute. Finally, we use job …

We analyze the causal effect of commuting on wages, using a large sample of German job changers. Information on their …-to-door commuting distances with an unprecedented degree of precision. We use a theoretical model on spatial job search to motivate our … heterogeneity. We find an asymmetric valuation of distance changes. Job changers value a reduction of their commuting distance …
