【摘要】We examine the relationship between individual commuting behavior and householdresponsibilities, with a focus on gender differences in that relationship. Using the Dutch Time UseSurvey for the years 2000 and 2005, we analyze the relationship between commuting time, homeproduction, and childcare. To deal with reverse causality, we use Propenstity Score Matching techniquesto obtain imputed data for individuals. We find that the effect of home production on commuting timefor women is more than double that for men, while childcare time has an effect on women’s commutingbehavior only. Our results shedding light on the Household Responsibility Hypothesis.
