Abstract

According to the Portuguese Labour Force Survey (PLFS), in the first quarter of 2024, 17.9% of the total workforce in Portugal and 32.1% in Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA) worked from home at least once per week. We use longitudinal microdata for residents in the LMA from the PLFS to study the relation between working from home (WFH) and one-way commuting duration. Worker-level regressions for the period between the second quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2024, controlling for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, suggest that compared with non-WFH workers, working from home 1 day per week is associated with a 4.9% increase in commuting duration. The estimated effect rises to 8.8% for 2 days per week and is around 6% for 3 and 4 days per week. These findings hold even after carrying out different robustness checks.

在家工作对通勤时间的影响：里斯本大都市区的证据

根据葡萄牙劳动力调查（PLFS），在2024年第一季度，17.9%的葡萄牙劳动力和32.1%的里斯本大都会区（LMA）劳动力每周至少在家工作一次。本研究利用PLFS的纵向微观数据，研究了家庭办公与单程通勤时间的关系。2022年第二季度至2024年第一季度期间的工人水平回归，控制了人口统计学和社会经济特征，表明与非wfh工人相比，每周在家工作1天与通勤时间增加4.9%相关。每周2天的估计效果上升到8.8%，每周3天和4天的估计效果约为6%。即使在进行了不同的稳健性检查之后，这些发现仍然成立。
