abstract: 'We use the unexpected partial repeal of a tax break for commuters in
Germany to examine the distribution of benefits from commuting subsidies
between workers and firms. Drawing on a large set of geo-referenced
employer-employee data, we use exact route distances between place of
work and place of residence to calculate individual net wage benefits
from commuting subsidies. In line with urban efficiency wage theories,
we find robust evidence that employers compensate workers on average for
about one third of the net wage loss caused by the reform if wages are
individually negotiated. We find no comparable effect for workers
covered by collective wage agreements. The subsequent existence of two
common subsidy regimes within an otherwise stable institutional
environment allows to draw inference on how each regime redistributes
income between wage groups and between regions. We find that the
introduction of a lower bound for commuting distances leads to a more
equal distribution of net wage benefits between wage groups and regions
compared to a regime without a lower bound.'
