我们研究通勤对劳动力供给模式的影响。劳动力供给模型的介绍表明，通勤距离增加每天的工作时间，而对总劳动力供给的影响是模糊的。本文使用德国1997年至2007年的社会经济面板数据实证研究了这些问题。通勤距离的内生性是通过使用雇主引起的通勤距离的变化来解释的。根据理论模型，我们发现通勤距离对日常工作时间有轻微的积极影响。此外，我们发现每周劳动力供应有类似的影响，但对工作日没有影响。从男性和女性的情况来看，对劳动力供应的影响似乎主要是通过女性的行为产生的，但对女性的影响仍然很小。
We examine the effect of commuting on labour supply patterns. A labour supply model is introduced which shows that commuting distance increases daily workhours, whereas the effect on total labour supply is ambiguous. This paper addresses these issues empirically using the socio-economic panel data for Germany between 1997 and 2007. Endogeneity of commuting distance is accounted for by using employer-induced changes in commuting distance. In line with the theoretical model developed, we find that commuting distance has a slight positive effect on daily workhours. Further, we find a similar effect on weekly labour supply, but no effect on workdays. Distinguishing between males and females, it appears that the effects on labour supply are mainly through the behaviour of females, but the effects for females are still small.
