An econometric analysis of residential and job location behaviour in a metropolitan area / Surendra Gera and Peter Kuhn.: EC22-3/1978-124E-PDF

"In this paper we present and estimate two single equation models designed to explain respectively the residential location and job location behaviour of individuals living in amulti-centered metropolitan area. We test both models separately for heads of households and non-heads of households, as well as for the total working population, in order to isolate differences in commuting behaviour between primary and secondary wage earners. The relationships are estimated from 1971 Census, cross-section data using least squares multiple regression. The data pertain to the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) and sixty-three designated zones therein"--Abstract, p. i.
