COMMUTING - IN SEARCH OF JOBS AND RESIDENCES

This paper introduces a model which includes residential, job moving, and commuting behavior when labor and housing markets are characterize d by market imperfections (imperfect information and moving costs). We examine the consequences of these market imperfections on commuting b ehavior. An empirical analysis of commuting behavior indicates that wo rkers commute less if they receive more job offers.
