Abstract

Commuting consists in the fact that an important fraction of workers in developed countries do not live close to their workplaces, but at long distances from them, so that they must travel to their jobs and then back home daily. This paper studies commuting in Catalonia (Spain) for the 1986-1991 period. First, we comment briefly the Theory of Residential Location, which provides us with the theoretical framework needed for the study of commuting. Then we examine the main facts of a descriptive analysis of commuting using several statistical methods, first on its sectorial side (de-composing Catalonian economy in 24 sectors), then on its territorial side (with comarcas, or aggregations of municipalities smaller than NUTS-III being used as main territorial unit) and an analysis of the professional categories. The last part of the paper consists of an estimation of commuting using a LOGIT model with individual data from the 1991 Spanish Population Census, in order to select the most relevant variables and estimate their effect on commuting.
