摘要

We investigate the impact of commuter train access on individual labor market outcomes. Our study considers the introduction of a commuter train on a pre-existing railroad in Sweden, considerably decreasing commuting times by public transit and hence increasing access to the regional employment center. Using difference-indifferences matching techniques on comprehensive individual panel data spanning over a decade, our intention to -treat estimates show that the reform essentially had no impact on the earnings and employment development among the affected individuals.
