“…It is worth noting that this study only quantifies the short-term impact of the EBD on arrival time preferences of commuters. However, in the long run, changes in public transport systems may affect the urban structure via affecting house prices, wages, housing supply and labour demand and may also impact car ownership, housing prices and wages (Mulalic and Rouwendal, 2020;Heblich et al, 2020). Thus, quantifying the long-term causal impact of the EBD is a potential direction of future research, which would enable transit operators to estimate whether the commuters are entirely unresponsive to price changes or they are simply slow to adjust.…”

This paper quantifies the causal impact of differential pricing on the trip-scheduling of regular commuters using the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) in Hong Kong. It does so by applying a difference-in-difference (DID) method to large scale smart card data before and after the introduction of the Early Bird Discount (EBD) pricing intervention. We find statistically significant but small effects of the EBD in the form of earlier departure times. Leveraging the granularity of the data, we also allow for the treatment effect to vary over observed travel characteristics. Our empirical results suggest that fares and crowding are the key determinants of commuter responsiveness to the EBD policy.

“…It further shows that the Danish job market is characterized by high labor turnover and therefore by 9 Statistics Denmark does not provide the exact residence and workplace addresses but provides the distances for the shortest route between these addresses. Note that the shortest distance may change over time even in the absence of job and residential relocations due to changes in road infrastructure (Börjesson et al, 2019;Mulalic and Rouwendal, 2020).…”

It has been documented that the gender pay gap strongly increases after the birth of the first child. We focus on Denmark and show that gender differences regarding commuting play an important role in explaining this. We offer 3 pieces of evidence.First, the gender pay and commuting gaps come into existence at the same moment: when the first child is born. Second, wage compensation for commuting is lower for women after the birth compared to men: about 3 − 4 percentage points of the overall gender pay gap is due to gender differences related to compensation for commuting when having children. Third, women who get a child are much more likely to leave their job when they have a long commute, which is not true for men.Using information on job moving through the lens of a dynamic search model, these results imply that the marginal cost of commuting increases substantially for women with a child. For female workers with a child, a one standard deviation increase in commuting distance induces costs equivalent to about 10% of their wage, whereas for all other workers these costs are equivalent to only 3-4% of their wages.

“…Among other studies that examine the connection between urban public transport and air pollution, (Mulalic, Rouwendal, 2020) is of considerable interest. In this paper, the authors investigate the interaction between an extension of the public transport network and car ownership.…”

The rapid growth of cities all over the world has inevitably led to the aggravation of economic, social and environmental problems. In this regard, developing «green», low-carbon, circular and other new economic models is necessary. Transport sector is an important source of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants. The purpose of this work is to assess the impact of urban public transport, especially electric buses, on the air quality. The authors have analyzed international and Russia’s experience of the low-carbon development of urban public transport and evaluated the environmental effects of transitioning to electric buses in Moscow using a regression model and data visualization tools. The results have shown that integrating electric buses into an urban transport system can be considered as a step towards the low-carbon development of the transport sector. The authors have identified a decrease in carbon monoxide (CO) pollution in the districts of Moscow where there are electric bus routes. Although the authors managed to demonstrate positive aspects of using e-buses instead of traditional ones, the proposed hypotheses were not fully confirmed due to limited data and a small number of electric bus routes at an early stage of the project. The results of the work can be used both in theoretical studies of sustainable development and practical implementation of programs for the low-carbon development of an urban transport network
