The relationship between well-being and commuting revisited: Does the choice of methodology matter?

This paper provides an assessment of a range of alternative estimators for fixed-effects ordered models in the context of estimating the relationship between subjective well-being and commuting behaviour. In contrast to previous papers in the literature we find no evidence that longer commutes are associated with lower levels of subjective well-being, in general. From a methodological point of view our results support earlier findings that linear and ordered fixed-effects models of life satisfaction give similar results. However, we argue that ordered models are more appropriate as they are theoretically preferable, straightforward to implement and lead to easily interpretable results.

(2018, methodology): “…still in their infancy and many of the multifarious links between commuting and well-being are still under-examined since most studies focus mainly on life satisfaction, drawing mixed conclusions (Stutzer and Frey, 2008; Dickerson et al., 2014; Hilbrecht et al., 2014; Wheatley, 2014; Morris, 2015).”
