However, to model how these activities accumulate and interact within trips to and from work is a methodologically unexplored issue. We analyze the intermediate activities done while commuting, using data from the American Time Use Survey for the period 2003–2019. We show that commuting as defined in Time Use Surveys is underestimated, with significant differences that depend on whether intermediate activities are considered. Such differences are especially important in commuting from work to home and reveal gender differences. Our results contribute to the analysis of commuting behavior by proposing new identification strategies based on intermediate non-trip episodes, and by showing how commuting interacts with other non-commuting activities. We also explore intermediate episodes during commuting, which may partially explain gender differences in commuting time. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S32-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2019-108348RA-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 2.2 2024 ECONOMICS 189 / 620 = 0.305 2024 Q2 T1 1.395 2024 Social Sciences (miscellaneous) 2024 Q1 Economics and Econometrics 2024 Q1 8.7 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Molina, José Alberto Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9437-4606 Velilla, Jorge Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0553-6360 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
