Abstract: | Commuters choose a mode, defined in terms of trip speed and time, to minimize the money and opportunity costs of travel. New results: the wage-rate elasticity of marginal commuting cost may be zero, negative, greater than one, or declining with the wage rate; a constant wage-rate elasticity is possible only if the marginal money cost of commuting is zero; a positive value of the marginal money cost of commuting implicitly assumes mode choice. The relationship between income and location seems due largely to technological change in intraurban transportation. |
