Description :
The economic theory of search is proposed as a theoretical background which motivates the modelling of commuting distance distributions. A sub-sample is used of respondants of the Housing Demand Survey of 1985, approached again in 1988. The distances are discussed in relation to household characteristics. Their apparent rapid increase is due in large part to changes in the employment situation.
