Effects of distance work on the activity-travel pattern
Mattias Haraldsson ()
Abstract: This paper estimates the long run effects of distance work
on various aspects of the activity-travel pattern. Estimations are made
using econometric matching on a data material from the Swedish travel
survey, RES, a travel diary collected in the period 1999-2001. The
activity-travel pattern of men seems to be irresponsive to distance work,
while some aspects of the activity-travel pattern of women change due to
distance work. For instance, it is found that distance-working women adopt
a more “local” lifestyle where purchases and child care are moved closer to
home.
