Changes in Workplace and Residential Locations

Abstract

Abstract The test of the association of workplace and residential change is a test of the journey-to-work models of residential location. This analysis of the determinants of intrametropolitan moving behavior indicates a significant association between workplace changes and residence changes, and supports the importance of the workplace in determining residence location. The model of the determinants of intrametropolitan moving developed and estimated in this article shows that workplace change operates along with the more traditional life cycle variables in explaining residential mobility. Furthermore, the structure of the model indicates the need for the collection of more data describing the changes occurring to households.
