Costly Commuting and the Job Ladder
Abstract:
I study the interaction between commu ting and employment in the data and within a spatial model of on-the-job se arch. I document the correlation between commuting time, job-to-job transit ions, and earnings empirically. The theoretical model features a labor mark et in which individuals must commute in order to work, explicitly taking in to account the distributions across space and employment states. Wages and rent are jointly determined endogenously, giving rise to sorting across job s and space. The rate of job-to-job transitions and wage gains within and b etween jobs depend crucially on the spatial elements of the model. The cal ibrated model quantifies the costs of commuting on individual wage profiles and aggregate labor market outcomes. Counterfactual analysis shows that d eclines in commuting costs accompanying the rise of working remotely affect location choices and wage growth at the individual level, and employment, rent, and output in the aggregate.
