Abstract

This study investigates how employed members in a household compromise their commute times when deciding about the location of household’s living place. The hypothesis of an internal negotiation between household breadwinners is statistically tested using a longitudinal survey of “Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia” (HILDA). The residential relocation history of dual-worker households is extracted from HILDA and according to the variations in commute time before and after relocation a reciprocal model specification is proposed. The reciprocal model is then transformed to a linear model, and the test of overall significance is conducted to validate the hypothesis. It is found that the household structure and wife’s job type have significant impacts on how breadwinners adjust their commute times in response to their partner’s conditions.
