Commuting and life satisfaction: evidence from Russia

Аннотация

The aim of this study is to contribute to the research on life satisfaction by investigating the link between commuting time and life satisfaction in Russia. Using data from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey, we find that commuting is negatively and significantly associated with life satisfaction. Moreover, we document that the effect of commuting is stronger for married couples and respondents living in rural areas. An extended analysis based on interactive regressions shows that the negative incidence of commute time on life satisfaction is potentially fueled by income and marital status and mitigated by age and gender.
