Excess commuting in the US : differences between the self-employed and employees
Gimenez-Nadal, José Ignacio; Molina, José Alberto; … - 2015
differences between the self-employed and employees in the US. In a theoretical framework where self-employed workers minimize … 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 …

A Wage-Efficiency Spatial Model for US Self-Employed Workers
Gimenez-Nadal, J. Ignacio; Molina, José Alberto; … - 2016
In this paper, we study self-employment in a theoretical setting derived from wage-efficiency spatial models, where leisure and effort at work are complementary. We develop a spatial model of self-employment in which effort at work and commuting are negatively related, and thus the probability...

Culture and the cross-country differences in the gender commuting gap: Evidence from immigrants in the United States
Marcén, Miriam; Morales, Marina - 2021
This paper explores the role of the gender equality culture in cross-country gender commuting gap differences. To avoid inter-relationships between culture, institutions, and economic conditions in a simple cross-country analysis, we adopt the epidemiological approach. We merge data from the...

Intermediate activities while commuting
Giménez-Nadal, José Ignacio; Molina, José Alberto; … - 2022
Recent analyses have shown that commutes to and from work are not symmetric, suggesting that intermediate activities are at the root of these asymmetries. However, how intermediate activities interact with trips to and from work is an unexplored issue. Using data from the American Time Use...

Pro-environment Attitudes and Worker Commuting Behavior
Gimenez-Nadal, José Ignacio; Molina, José Alberto; … - 2023
The private vehicle is, for most developed countries, the prevalent commuting mode of workers, and one of the main source of CO2 emissions. The choice of the mode of transport for commuting trips clearly depends on individual preferences, and it may be that pro-environmental attitudes and values...
