Commuting patterns of Czech households exposed to flood risk
Original language description
Using unique data collected in October ? December 2012 we estimate the link between commuting to work and the level of household exposure to fl oods. Th e result suggests an empirical puzzle ? individuals aff ected by only one fl ood are roughly 10% morelikely to engage in commuting, whereas those aff ected by two fl oods are 13% less likely to do so. We explain the result by the fact that individuals commute to work to accumulate resources in order to decrease the household?s vulnerability to fl ood risk, amongst other reasons. When the fl ood risk is high, some households out ? migrate, and stayers commute less, probably for similar reasons as why they stay. Further, we fi nd evidence in support of the ?network eff ect hypothesis ? an individual with an active commuter in the household is 47% more likely to commence commuting.
